Kid President received a phone call from President Barack Obama in one of his recent videos.
It was a dream come true for Kid President when he got to work with the real-life President of the United States. Kid President is what nine-year-old Robby Novak calls himself when he makes videos. In the video he made with President Barack Obama, he helped announce the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. On April 1, Kid President went to the White House Easter Egg Roll. That same day, he even helped President Obama pull off an April Fools’ Day video prank.
The videos with President Obama were not the first ones that Robby Novak made. In fact, one of his web videos, called “Pep-talk from Kid President to You,” has already been seen by more than 10 million people on YouTube. Robby dedicated the video to his friend, Gabbi Cook, who has cancer. Robby is spreading the word about ways that people can give money to help her get better.
Every week, Robby Novak makes another Kid President video to encourage others to reach their dreams. People can view the videos on the Internet. Robby makes the videos with his older sister’s husband, Brad Montague. Robby has also been on television, including NBC’s Today Show.
Robby lives in Henderson, Tennessee, where he is a third grader at East Chester Elementary. He made his first video for the university his parents work at. You might notice that sometimes Robby is wearing a cast in his videos. That is because he has a disease that makes his bones brittle, or weak. If he falls down, his bones can break easily. Despite this challenge, Robby still loves to dance. He just wants to make everyone happy.
