Eight years ago, Obama managed to capture the hearts and minds of the majority of American people with his campaign slogan “Change we can believe in.” There is no arguing that Obama has effortlessly tried to bring change to America with many programs including the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare (not the best plan, but we must give him his credit in trying to lower costs for those who can’t afford insurance). With Donald Trump winning the Presidential Election, Obama’s time in office is quickly coming to an end (*tears up*), and someone else must inherit the throne as President. We are about to enter into an entirely different America, and I am not sure if it will be good or bad. As Americans, I think we should appreciate the qualities and great things hat Obama has done for our country. Here are some reasons why I will miss Obama in office.
1. His Class In Dealing With Republicans.
What more is there to say?
2. His Charming Personality.
I honestly can't stop watching videos of Obama interacting with children. It literally brings tears to my eys. Is there not a more charming character than this?
3. His wife: Michelle Obama
Possibly one of the classiest first ladies in U.S. history, Michelle Obama has captured me with her beauty and elegance, as well has her class (not to mention her flawless style). Whether she is dressed sporty, casual, or formal, Michelle Obama slays in anything she wears as well as having a heart of gold. She’s such a huge inspiration to me, and it’s hard to say goodbye to her.
4. His Modesty.
Despite the pressures that come with being president, Obama knows how to keep his s**t together. You have to love that about the man.
5. He Helped Legalize Same-Sex Marriage
Kudos to you Mr. President. I am a firm believer in equality, and I FULLY believe that people should be allowed to marry whomever they wish regardless of their sexual orientation. Now that Trump has won the election, we might see some changes to this.
6. His Revival Of The Economy.
In 2008, Obama inherited one of the most economic depressions that America had seen in a while. During this time period, he managed to make healthcare affordable for many families of lower socioeconomic status as well as helping to reduce the unemployment rates in the country.
7. His Speeches
I’ve always been one to enjoy watching the speeches made by President Obama because of his eloquence and rhetoric. Obama really knows how to calm a crowd and remain “cool” despite the calamity.
8. His Reaction To Criticism
*via twitter* He's great. Just great.
9. His "Cool, Calm, And Collected" Demeanor.
As Taylor Swift says, haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate" and Obama manages to "shake it off" with dignity.
10. He's A Straight Savage.
When Republican nominee Donald Trump, now our President-elect, heinously tweeted, “President Obama will go down as the worst president in the history of the United States,” Obama’s response was priceless. By responding with “at least I will go down as a president,” Obama demonstrated classic savage moves (give the man a gold star for this).
