10 Best Obama Moments
https://edaily.co.ke

As President Barack Obama's presidency comes to an end and President Elect Donald Trump is coming into office, change is in the air. During a time of such controversy and division in our country I think it's important to remain in unity and band together to create a brighter future. All politics aside, Barack Obama always brought smiles and laughter to our lives just by being him. Here are of Obama's best moments we all had the ability to witness throughout his eight years in the spotlight.

1. Being sworn in as the first African American President of the United States of America.

Barack Obama made history becoming the first African American President of the USA. His inauguration broke barriers and it was a privilege to witness that.

2. His dad jokes.

Obama is the king of dad jokes. Especially at each Thanksgiving. His turkey jokes had the crowd giggling. He seems to always crack himself up too.

3. His legendary mic drop.

Obama ended his speech at his last White House Correspondence Dinner with "Obama Out" and a simple drop of the mic. It was was absolutely legendary.

4. His bromance with Joe Biden.

Joe Biden and Barack Obama probably have the best President and VP relationship in history. Friendship bracelets, ice cream dates -- these guys are really brothers.

5. His birth video release.

At the 2011 White House Correspondence dinner, Obama decided to release his "birth video." This video turned out to be a clip from "The Lion King" and had the crowd roaring with laughter.

6. His connection with children.

Obama clearly has a connection with kids. Every time he comes across a child he has no problem showing his playful side. He has also been known to be able to calm babies in the blink of an eye.

7. His song performances.

There have been many moments Obama can't help but to break into song. We've heard him preform "Amazing Grace". "Happy Birthday" and even an original with Jimmy Fallon.

8. His love for Michelle.

Obama makes his love for his wife so clear. You can see the love in his eyes every time he looks into her eyes. Regardless of what you think of him as a President, you can't deny he's a great husband.

9. His many talk show appearances.

Obama has no problem letting lose and joking around with celebrity TV personnel. He's appeared on Jimmy Fallon, Between two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis, He even appeared on Jimmy Kimmel reading mean tweets written about himself.

10. His run around the white house.

Obama and his main man Joe Biden decide to go for a quick jog around the White House to bring awareness to Michelle's "Let's Move" campaign.

Thanks for all the laughs Obama. Peace out.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
