President Barack Obama’s eight years in office will come to an end in January. He hosted his last state dinner in October. It honored Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. And, he will be celebrating his final Thanksgiving in office in November. There will be many more “last” things for the Obamas in the coming weeks. One last thing President Obama did this week was read “Mean Tweets” about himself on television. Twitter, Facebook and other forms of social media have become extremely popular during Obama’s eight years in office. “Mean Tweets” is a regular and popular -- part of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night television show. He invites celebrities to look at Twitter and read negative comments that people have written about them. President Obama appeared on Kimmel's Mean Tweets for the first time in 2015. That two-minute video has more than 46 million views on YouTube.
