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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
