Say what you will about the holder of the office, First Ammendment and what not...
As for the office itself, it has been seen with a lot of stodgyness, blunt stick in the mud sort of attitude. While I do want the holder of that office to be a professional at a certain level, I would also like them to be personable, someone that can be related to by the people. Taking selfies with pop culture personages fits right into that.

On a related note, the "Presidential Order" given to the Mythbusters to revisit the Archimedes Death Ray and solve it once and for all, factors into this same "reaching out" mind set.
