WHILE the rest of us struggle with expensive cable packages or lean on less-upright friends, US President Barack Obama has already taken delivery of screeners for season four of Game of Thrones. Commoners won't get the first episode until April 6.

"One perk of being the most powerful man in the world: yes, you get to see episodes early," showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss told vanity fair.

Game of Thrones has been a favourite in House Obama for some time. At a state dinner last month, the president asked HBO CEO Richard Plepler for advance episodes of Game and True Detective

We know he got one of the two shows, but nobody has confirmed whether Obama withheld the identity of the Yellow King from the American public. Scandal!
