The Hobama Preservation Organization is a global, volunteer-led initiative tasked with the historical stewardship of the Barack Obama and Harry Styles internet ship.
Around December 10, 2014, One Direction fans circulated a photoshopped tabloid headline from the National Examiner claiming that former President Barack Obama had had an affair with Harry Styles.
The Hobama Preservation Organization is currently the only organization focused on researching, educating, and preserving Hobama.
In order for future generations to understand the complexity of the Hobama relationship, we encourage you to join our team.Â
