It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.
Chicago, it’s good to be home!
Michelle and I built the Obama Presidential Center to be a place where people of all ages can learn, play, and work – and we can't wait to welcome you all later this week!
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
I’ve Said It A Million Times Use This Game To Go Get The Sh*t They Never Wanted U To Have (An ELITE Education). I’m Extremely Honored To Know This Family Older Brother Will Soon Be A Harvard Grad & An Outstanding Young Man. Family Scarified A lot! He In Good Hands @coach_cahill
Dana White The Same Guy Who Slapped His Wife In Public & Nothing Happen!!! An He Got Rewarded With His Event On The White House Lawn!!! ONLY In America!!!!! 🤡🇺🇸
Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
This Is Why I Could Never Fuck With This Shit! This Is Who America Has Always Been & Will Continue To Be. This Administration Is Who Has Embolden This Kinda Behavior & Has Become The Poster Child For It! This Administration Ain’t Shit Just Like Joe Rogan & Dana White Ain’t Shit!
