The closer we get to the Obamas’ departure, the more we, as a nation, have become aware of just how good we’ve had it. So we dreamed up the 12 days of Obama, a series of pieces by different writers devoted to recognizing the magnitude of some of the President and First Lady’s remarkable accomplishments over the course of the past eight years.

Read the series here.

She sat behind him over his left shoulder. As soon as he realized that she was nearby, he turned around and grinned as if his favorite aunt was sitting there watching his back! So incredible to see these trailblazers just a few feet away from me. I've had the pleasure of speaking with the President a few times and today I had a conversation with Cicely Tyson! It wasn't deep or inspirational but her concern for the topic of conversation impressed me. All of her years as a star and she found it not robbery to engage with me. Today was incredible. There's no greater place on earth than The Mecca! The Howard University!!! Forever grateful!!!

This is my current view. Honored to just be on the same stage as the 44th President of the United States of America. The first African-American President and one of the most incredible human beings I've ever met!!! Welcome Mr. President. Howard University loves you!!! (at Howard University)

SHE is the absolute greatest gift I've ever gotten in my life! She taught me how to be caring and thoughtful and pushed education and intelligence and performance etiquette. Exposed me to travel and culture and food and made sure we love our family and friends. Her example is incredible!!! And I love her for the support and love she shows me every day. I honestly would not be where I am/who I am now without my mother and I'm grateful to God EVERY DAY to have her as MY Queen Mother!!! I pray that we have another 50 plus years with this wonderful woman!!! We love you and Happy Birthday!!!! Looking to make you extremely proud real soon!!!!
