In lieu of this election, let’s focus on something more uplifting: the Obamas. In the eight years Obama has been President, they have had their fair share of awesome moments that will be remembered for years to come.
1. First of all, they’re obviously family goals!
They are maybe the most picturesque Presidential family ever, down to the Portuguese Water Dogs.
2. Barack is friends with all the best celebrities
3. He even read mean tweets about himself on Jimmy Kimmel and isn’t even mad
On Jimmy Kimmel’s skit “Mean Tweets”, Obama has been on the show twice reading people say mean things about him and it’s hilarious. Watch the newest one here:

4. But let’s not forget, Michelle is also hip with the celebs
Michelle went on Ellen and they did the “Gimme Five” dance, which was to promote five ways that Americans stay healthy. A bunch of other celebrities contributed to this too. Watch the “Gimme Five” dance here:

5. She also did carpool karaoke on the Late Late Show with Missy Elliot
Enough said. Watch the video here:

6. In addition to being this awesome, fun, and intelligent woman, she’s been on the cover of just about every major fashion magazine in the country
She was said to be the most fashionable First Lady since Jackie Kennedy. She has had countless amazing fashion moments throughout the eight years.
7. Barack has earned his fair share of spots on magazine covers as well
Of his many magazine covers, there was this Rolling Stone cover naming him one of America’s most historically successful Presidents.
8. Both of them also have a fan base among children
These are just a couple of the thousands of pictures of Barack being great with kids
9. And of course, Michelle’s Lets Move! program
The movement is to address the challenge of childhood obesity and provide healthier diets for children, which has been hugely successful
10. They are not only adorable with children but also with each other
Caught on a kiss cam at a game, they committed to the bit.
11. Barack and Joe Biden = best friend goals
The friendship bracelets made by Barack speak for themselves.
12. And then there was the passing of marriage rights for LGBTQ
“Love won” in the landmark 5-4 Supreme Court decision
13. And taking strides on climate change
America has a global leadership on climate change thanks to him
14. And of course, the economy
Unemployment has decreased about 2% with the millions of jobs he’s added
15. Obama was wildly successful in bettering our country in his eight years and will go down as being not only one of our best Presidents, but also one of the coolest
As he said at the end of his last White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech: “Obama Out” *drops mic*
