Barack & Michelle Obama Give America One Final Goodbye -- As Celebs Send Them Off On Twitter!

Sigh.
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama just left the White House for the last time as POTUS and FLOTUS (*tear*), but before they packed their bags, they sent out one last farewell thanking the American people for giving them “the incredible privilege of serving this country that we love.”
Even when shit is hitting the fan, they’re still so gracious!!

Our First Couple of the past 8 years went on to urge everyone to get involved in their upcoming project, the creation of their Presidential Center in Chicago:

Barry added in a series of tweets:

It’s been the honor of my life to serve you. You made me a better leader and a better man.

I won’t stop; I’ll be right there with you as a citizen, inspired by your voices of truth and justice, good humor, and love.

As we look forward, I want our first steps to reflect what matters most to you. Share your thoughts with me at https://t.co/fGUxlpLVue.

I’m still asking you to believe – not in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. I believe in change because I believe in you.

Yes we can.
Yes we did.

@barackobama Thank you for your incredible grace in leadership and for being an exceptional example for us all. You’ve made many who were sleeping, conscious – including myself. I agree with you; we need to burst our bubbles and build real community again, face to face. I am excited to see the generation coming up who as you said, are “Unselfish, altruistic, creative, patriotic and believe in a fair, just, inclusive America.” I cannot wait to see good triumph. ├ó┬¥┬ñ├»┬╕┬Å├░┼╕ΓÇí┬║├░┼╕ΓÇí┬╕Taken 10/24/12A photo posted by KATY PERRY (@katyperry) on Jan 11, 2017 at 12:38am PST

Mr President- my first vote ever was cast for you (in line behind Busta Rhymes no less! I ├ó┬¥┬ñ├»┬╕┬Å NY) and it will always be an honor and a privilege to have joined forces with other Americans to elect a leader I believed in with every cell of my being. Your dignity, grace and passion changed minds & lives. You are a relentless advocate, a kind fighter, a fearless feminist father. You are a paragon of decency and honor. Oh, and you’re fucking cool/funny. Like so many, I’m not ready to say goodbye. So I’ll just thank you and hope you know that you’re needed now more than ever (after a vacation. You and Michelle, your brilliant teammate, deserve a real umbrellas in your drinks vacation.) I hope you know that you don’t just leave behind broken hearts- you also galvanized us and readied us for this moment and I’ll watch that speech again any time I forget. I love you. Thank you.A photo posted by Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) on Jan 10, 2017 at 8:16pm PST

President Obama is a shining example of what it means to center women in policy making. The impact of this on women’s lives is unparalleled.
