Obama becomes first sitting president to publish an academic paper [View all]

Barack Obama just became the first sitting president to publish a scholarly article.

The article, titled "United States Health Care Reform: Progress to Date and Next Steps," with "Barack Obama, JD" listed as the author, was published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (known as JAMA) on July 11.

It's a pretty badass move for a president, and he got a lot of love on Twitter with the hashtag #ObamaJAMA.
