Hes got jokes.

Barack Obama kept his take on the Inflation Reduction Act short and sweet in a tweet on Tuesday.

This is a BFD, he said in response to President Bidens explanation of the law online.

Obamas tweet was a reference to Bidens own comments in 2010. While introducing then-President Obama after the Affordable Care Act passed, Biden whispered in Obamas ear: This is a big f---ing deal.

Bidens comments were caught by the microphones, and the two have played the ensuing controversy for jokes in the past 12 years. In April, Biden warned Obama about a hot mic at a White House event.

On Tuesday night, Biden replied to the 44th presidents tweet, with, Thanks, Obama.

The Inflation Reduction Act is designed to lower out-of-pocket Medicare costs and spend more than $350 million to combat climate change, among many other things.

But the jokes are priceless.

Despite always fancying itself as something of an outsider genre, metal connections within mainstream politics are surprisingly more commonplace than you might imagine. George W. Bush once famously shouted out Ozzy Osbourne when the Prince Of Darkness attended the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2002. Donald Trump is seemingly BFFs with Kid Rock (we can only imagine the wholesome and thoughtfully delivered conversations they must have).

Surely the most unlikely presidential/heavy metal crossover ever, though, happened in 2015, when then-serving US Pres Barack Obama was speaking at a Medal of Honor Ceremony taking place at the White House. The recipient of the medal was retiring French-American army captain Florent Groberg, who was being awarded following his actions tackling a suicide bomber while in Afghanistan in 2012. While recovering in hospital in Germany some days after his heroics, Groberg - a metal fan - awoke to find none other than Korn frontman Jonathan Davis sitting by his bedside. In his tired and confused state, Groberg initially thought he was hallucinating, only to eventually realise that Davis had indeed flown over to see him.

Referencing the moment at the ceremony, Obama stated: [Groberg] woke up on a hospital bed, in a little bit of a haze. He wasnt sure, but he thought he was in Germany, and someone was at his bedside talking to him. And he thought it was the lead singer from the heavy metal band Korn. Flo thought, Whats going on? Am I hallucinating? But he wasnt, it was all real.

Obama then went on to crack a joke, confirming that while Davis really did visit Groberg in hospital, it was not the Korn singer stood in front of him right now.

And so today, Flo, I want to assure you, you are not hallucinating, Obama added. You are actually in the White House. Those cameras are on. I am not the lead singer from Korn. We are here to award you our nations highest military honour distinction, The Medal of Honor.

I was asleep and then around six or seven in the morning, my phone starts going off, Davis told Rolling Stone later that year. I look over and someone had just texted me, The president just said your name during this Medal of Honor ceremony. Im just like whatever and went back to sleep, but [my phone] kept going.

Davis added that he was shocked and taken back by the reference - just like pretty much every single nu metal fan who happened to catch the speech that day.

Latest Korn album Requiem is out now. Watch the unlikely Obama/Korn call-out below.

MEXICO CITY- Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin has been embroiled in a major controversy after a video leaked of her dancing and singing. In the video, the 36-year-old President poses for the camera, hugs her friends and seems to be enjoying the moment.

Such was the controversy that Marin underwent a drug test to prove that he had not used drugs, and assured that everything he called a wild party was legal. The video sparked a debate on the extent to which it is acceptable for dignitaries and national leaders to celebrate casually. Beyond the above, some world leaders like Marin have shown skill to dance. However, some have not tried.

Boris Johnson

The British Prime Minister, who was to announce that he would step down after the appointment of his successor, was involved in a series of scandals caused by partygoers held in complete confinement in Downing Street due to the pandemic, as well as the appointment of an official Had happened. From harassment, he is not afraid of the dance floor, although he does not stand up enough to be a great dancer. Remembering the dance, one tweeter put it to compete with Marin with the following legend: No doubt who will get my vote.

Theresa May

Johnsons predecessor, British Prime Minister Theresa May, was known for her seriousness and lack of charisma. That is why during a convention of the Conservative Party in 2018, she was surprised when she started dancing to the song of Dancing Queen, not with much beats.

Vladimir Putin

The Russian president who has cornered the world by starting a war in Ukraine is another figure that rarely breaks out of his tough guy profile. But he did so in 2018 at the wedding of the Austrian foreign minister, Karin Kneisel. Only a few seconds of the dance were made public, enough to show that it has a certain rhythm, though not grace.

Dmitry Medvedev

Another Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, showed an even less penchant for dancing when in 2011 he couldnt keep up with the American Boy song. However, he was happy in his own way.

-Emmanuel Macron

The French president, who won re-election in April this year, is characterized by his charisma and has been one of the key negotiators with Putin in the current crisis with Russia. But when it came to dancing he showed that he is a good president.

Volodymyr Zelensky

On the other side of the barrier are the leaders who have shown the gift of dance. Like the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, who, before winning the presidency, won the dance for a dream contest.

Barack Obama

In the United States, Barack Obama has shown that he is not only a great speaker, but that he is also good at dancing. Like when he danced with Ellen DeGeneres.

Justin Trudeau

Finally, in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shown that he has a passion for dancing, in addition to being considered one of the most attractive leaders.

A few years ago, Wakefield, England's Pretty V popped up making music under the names v7backin2007 and Voldy Moyo. There was a demo quality to his knotty, often personal songs. His rough vocal takes sounded like iPhone voice memos used to store as lyrics came to him. Sometimes, you could even hear the wind rustling the microphone. But you dont get a sense of urgency from Pretty Vs voicehe tries to remain distant and measured on even the sweetest-sounding beats. On Forever, his upcoming album, Pretty V isnt afraid to get all up in your face. Premiering today on The FADER is the projects second single, OBAMA and a glitchy video shot and edited by Bobby Ingham. Forever drops September 14.

On OBAMA, Pretty Vs bouncing off the walls with energy. Its produced by Donnie Katana, whose hazy production recalls some of Pierre Bournes more atmospheric beats. But Pretty Vs twitchy stop-start flow and punchy vocals keep the song perpetually off-balance. He rushes through bars headfirst, focusing on making things hit as hard as possible before anything else. The whole song is building toward an explosive breaking point thats always just out of reach. Its like riding a roller coaster that only goes up.
