I love that even though President Obama has been out of office for almost two years, even the kids who are probably too young to remember when he was president are thrilled to see him.

He would be an amazing teacher, maybe 2nd grade? I can easily imagine him getting kids excited about their projects and learning. Whenever he did kids’ events & read to them, he did a great job (better than Michelle tbh). He knows instinctively how to encourage & comfort.

It’s hard to comprehend the difference between your last and present president. Stand strong and human dignity will prevail.

This is what a real @POTUS does for his country. Thank goodness he wasn’t in office to close personal business deals or enrich himself… like others do.

It’s bittersweet watching this. On the one hand, it just shows what a positive influence you continue to have. On the other hand, it’s a reminder of who is now in the Oval Office. We miss your leadership, Mr. President.

We could only hope that every single POTUS from now on can take a page out of President Obama’s book on how to act, think, and sincerely be a president. Thank you, President Obama. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to the Obamas!
