Obama: When you're the president, everyone takes your calls Photo 6:50pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The coolest thing about being the leader of the free world? Everyone will take your call, said President Barack Obama in a television interview on Tuesday.
Obama did another round of interviews with local television anchors to talk about the threat of a Thursday deadline to raise the debt limit, and the impact of a 15-day government shutdown.
But Diana Williams of New York's WABC television said her teenaged daughter wanted her to ask Obama whether the coolest thing about being president was being friends with entertainment power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z.
"That is a view shared by Malia and Sasha," Obama chuckled, referring to his two daughters.
Beyonce and Jay-Z raised money for Obama during his campaign, and Beyonce performed the national anthem at his 2013 inauguration.
"For me, I think the coolest thing is that if there is somebody interesting who's doing anything - a scientist, a sports figure, a writer, anybody in the world - if I want to call them up ... they will answer my phone call. That's a pretty cool thing," Obama said.

I’d hang up on the sumbich quicker’n I do with a telemarketer.
He hasn’t tried to call me yet, at least I haven’t
noticed. Did he leave a call back number?
Call my house and see what happens. ;-)
Isn’t it mandatory if its on a Husseinphone?

Another hard-hitting interview from the PCM - Pop Culture Media.
I’d hang up on the sumbich quicker’n I do with a telemarketer.
My thought exactly, though I would think about talking long enough to tell him to F off.
The moron probably calls collect. You know, deficit reduction.
What a vacuous cypher! I am so glad he is enjoying the ‘coolness of everyone taking your call’. Please Lord, let us have an adult in charge soon!
Gimmie a call, I’ll take it but you aren’t going to like what I have to say.
Power mad freak!
FU*BO
If Obama calls, I’m not here.
If he called my house I’d hang up. I don’t talk to communists.
He neglected to add that all the gay escort services offer him a discount. How cool is that?
And Mr. Putin....Sorry I ignored your calls about the Boston Bombers. Apparently, not everyone takes YOUR calls.
Not everybody, I would never take a call from this jackass!
I would respond to his call with a 2-word expletive and then hang up.
Call me dude and I’ll hang up on you twice just to make sure.
