				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is that you <a href="http://www.ryanseacrest.com/tag/barack-obama" target="_blank"><strong>Barack Obama</strong></a>? Nope, just an empty chair.</p>

<p>On Thursday, actor <a href="http://www.ryanseacrest.com/tag/clint-eastwood" target="_blank"><strong>Clint Eastwood</strong></a> got on stage at the <strong>Republican National Convention</strong> and talked to an empty chair. He said that President Barack Obama was sitting there and was not listening to him. Trying to get across some type of message. Now, the Internet has taken that and it has become an overnight meme.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[President Barack Obama's newest song cover promises to be a favorite of One Direction's Niall Horan.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the last times we caught <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/president-obama" target="_blank">President Barack Obama</a></strong> <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/06/05/watch-president-obama-sing-call-me-maybe-video/" target="_blank">singing</a> and <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/05/22/president-obama-mitt-romney-dance-to-call-me-maybe-by-carly-rae-jepsen-video/" target="_blank">dancing</a>, it was to <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/carly-rae-jepsen" target="_blank">Carly Rae Jepsen</a></strong>&#8216;s hit, &#8220;<strong>Call Me Maybe</strong>.&#8221; And just as no one seems to tire of that infectious song, we never get tired of hearing these presidential speech mash-ups from <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/baracksdubs" target="_blank">baracksdubs</a></strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/03/29/watch-president-obama-sing-sexy-and-i-know-it-video/" target="_blank"><strong>Watch President Obama Sing LMFAO’s Hit ‘Sexy And I Know It’ [VIDEO]</strong></a></p>
<p>A new track has not been released in close to a month—a lifetime in the music industry—so is Mr. President ready for his comeback? He takes a leap of faith with <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/one-direction/" target="_blank">One Direction</a></strong>&#8216;s &#8220;<strong>Beautiful</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Several people have already commented on the video to point out that One Direction member <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/niall-horan" target="_blank">Niall Horan</a> </strong>is sure to be very happy about the cover. A self-proclaimed &#8220;massive Obama fan,&#8221; Niall <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY3-hVoYMLw" target="_blank">admitted</a> to <strong>Popstar Magazine</strong> in May that he keeps a life-size statue of the U.S. President in his house.</p>

<p>He also told &#8220;<strong>The Ralphie Radio Show</strong>&#8221; that he&#8217;s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj8ZoeSBARM" target="_blank">hung out</a> backstage with Obama&#8217;s daughters before. We look forward to hearing Niall&#8217;s thoughts on Obama&#8217;s version of the song. What do you think about the new mash-up?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Action superstar <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/will-smith/">Will Smith</a></strong> called in to &#8220;<strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/category/on-air/">On Air with Ryan Seacrest</a></strong>&#8221; to talk about the influence his superstar children, <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/willow-smith/">Willow</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/jaden-smith/">Jaden</a></strong>, have on his fashion, and if he would play <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/barack-obama/">President Barack Obama</a></strong> in a film.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/barack-obama/">President Obama &amp; Mitt Romney Dance to ‘Call Me Maybe’ [VIDEO]</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Would Will Be Open To Portraying President Barack Obama In A Movie?</strong><br />
&#8220;Yes. I spoke to <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/barack-obama/">Barack</a> </strong>two months ago and we were talking about it. I really think it&#8217;s the ears. We have matching ears. I think that&#8217;s what people see in the resemblance. I told him that I would absolutely consider it. He just had to write a fantastic ending. We&#8217;re waiting for Barack to finish the screenplay and write this fantastic ending in a couple of months, and then we&#8217;ll go ahead and get started.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>On Raising Jaden &amp; Willow Smith:</strong><br />
&#8220;They influence every aspect of my life. I can&#8217;t even put on a pair of pants and walk out without getting looked up and down or getting critiqued.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What Have You Been Doing The Past Few Years?</strong><br />
&#8220;Family business is really entertainment so&#8230;during that time we made the &#8216;<strong>Karate Kid</strong>&#8216; and <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/willow-smith/">Willow</a></strong>&#8216;s &#8216;<strong>Whip My Hair</strong>&#8216; and <strong>Jada</strong> on &#8216;<strong>Hawthorne</strong>.&#8217; So daddy&#8217;s been doing a little family producing and organizing, but they are very ready for daddy to go back to work.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>On The Lasting Popularity of &#8216;The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air&#8217;:</strong><br />
&#8220;That is the biggest thing I have ever done. Ever. It&#8217;s like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in different languages and around the world. There&#8217;s something about that show that has connect with people in a really really deep way.&#8221;</p>
<p>Will&#8217;s newest action film MIB 3 will be released in theaters nationwide this Friday.</p>
