I love President Obama. He came, he saw, and he drank filtered Flint water

'Generally I haven't been doing stunts but here you go,' he said, taking a sip after he was asked if the glass sitting in font of him was filled with Flint water.

And just took a swig from a water glass.

His speech is amazing. Hopefully I can post a video of it, later.

I just love this guy.

They boo'd him when President Obama mentioned his name.

I guess we should give him credit for even showing up, because at first, that apparently wasn't his plan. After all, he had his schedule to consider.

But he was killing it, and not just for Flint. His comments were national in scope. Flint is not the only place with these kinds of problems out there.

Flint is the tip of the ice berg. I think we were the flash point.

And, he is killing it. As is his habit. Love this guy.
