President Barack Obama Rejects the Ice Bucket Challenge as Justin Timberlake and Other Stars Get Soaked

Keep the ice buckets away from Barack Obama!

After being called out by Ethel Kennedy, the oldest living member of the famous political family, the President of the United States is opting to pass on getting soaked for the #IceBucketChallenge.

"The President appreciates Mrs. Kennedy thinking of him for the challenge," the White House said in a statement. "The President will be making a donation to an ALS charity this week."

Those faced with the #IceBucketChallenge have 24 hours to decide whether they would like to get a bucket of ice cold water poured over their heads, or make a donation to a charity fighting Lou Gehrig's disease.
