LOS ANGELES (AP) — President Barack Obama’s latest playful executive order is a tweeted effort to limit House of Cards plot spoilers.
The second season of the political thriller about a power-hungry Washington couple premiered in its entirety Friday on Netflix. Obama’s official Twitter account notes the occasion along with the request: No spoilers, please.
Cast members reveled in the real-life president’s support at a premiere event Thursday night. Robin Wright plays Claire Underwood, wife of Kevin Spacey’s vice president-to-be Frank Underwood. She says Obama knows good stuff.
And Kate Mara, who plays reporter Zoe Barnes, double-checked the authenticity of the tweet before celebrating. She calls Obama’s message one of the coolest things that’s happened to me.
Mara says the 13-episode season is just as dark as the first.
