Exclusive: Obama's Music Video Career Revealed
By now you've probably heard about the latest, most improbable, and quite possibly most awesome rumor about Barack Obama's past thus far: that he made a cameo appearance in the 1993 music video for Tag Team's "Whoomp! There It Is."

Never let it be said that journalists aren't out there every single day to bring you the truth about important issues. Unfortunately, they're all wrong. After hours of exhaustive research, we were able to uncover President Barack Obama's storied past as a music video extra.
