President Obama is 55 today and as we all celebrate his birthday we are reminded that this will be the last year we celebrate it with him as President of the United States.
The moment is so bitter sweet because we can all agree that he is the coolest President ever and he will be missed dearly.
As I look at all his pictures I cannot help but think what a time to be alive, to experience this man and his family living in a “house built by slaves” as the leader of the free world for 8 years was an absolute privilege that we all should be grateful for.
