If a black man can win the Mississippi senate, a black woman can win Georgia Governor and a black woman can be Vice President
A BLACK WOMAN CAN BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
There is so much at stake in the midterm elections.
If you have already voted: Thank you, and make sure your community is ready. If you haven't voted yet, make sure you have a plan to vote today, Tuesday, November 3.
The power is with the people.
This Election Day, you have the power to change the direction of this country. But nothing’s going to change if you don’t vote.
So I want you to reach out to everyone you know. Help your family members make a plan to vote. Drive your neighbors to the polls. Text your friends until they show you their “I Voted” sticker. And if anybody gives you any attitude, tell them Michelle told you to vote!
Your community, your state, and our entire country needs every single one of you to cast a ballot on November 3. We’re counting on you!
Maternal health is about making sure every mother and baby has the care, support, and resources they need to thrive.
When it comes to resources, Medicaid is the largest funder for maternity care in America. Donald Trump — supported by Mike Rogers — cut Medicaid funding by $1 trillion dollars.
I am proud to be back in the great state of Michigan with @AbdulElSayed to discuss what is at stake on this critical issue in the midterm election. Michigan, Election Day is 42 days away. Make sure you are ready to vote for Abdul and help flip the Senate.
Yesterday, we lost a cherished member of our family.
We got Sunny at the start of our second term in the White House, and all of us – including our first dog, Bo – immediately fell in love. We also had trouble keeping up with her, for Sunny was a force of nature. Athletic and full of boundless energy, she leapt over the hedges on the South Lawn like they weren’t even there, chasing squirrels, birds and anything else that moved. And whereas the way to Bo’s heart usually involved a treat, Sunny was more interested in having us run around with her, roll on the floor with her, or have her belly rubbed for as long as we were willing.
She loved the girls, even if they were pestering her when she was napping. She loved our team, and would often follow them around, helping them on the job. She was fiercely protective of Bo, who she rightly sensed wasn’t always as alert and attentive as she was. She had her eccentricities: other than Bo, she preferred people to dogs; she was a loud and sloppy drinker; and despite being a Portuguese Water Dog, she hated getting wet.
But as far as our family was concerned, she was pretty much perfect, and for thirteen years, she would be by our side – always loyal, always sweet, always ready for adventure, still fiery and gorgeous till the very end of her days.
We will miss her terribly, and imagine she’s with her big brother now, making sure he’s okay.
She wasn't perfect (nobody is), but one thing is certain: she would never have destroyed the White House, she would never have given $40 billion to a foreign country at the expense of her farmers, she would never have betrayed the U.S. Constitution. She would never start a new war against Iran. She would never call a journalist a “Piggy”. She would never sleep in the Oval Office. Did I miss something?
America has always been a work in progress.
What has carried our nation forward is not the absence of challenges, but the willingness of ordinary people to meet them with hope, courage, and action.
As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday this weekend, we must continue to fight for one another, our democracy, and the promise of what we can build together.
I would read letters like Emily’s every night in the White House. They were powerful reminders of why the work we did mattered, and who we were fighting for.
When folks visit the Obama Presidential Center, my hope is that they see their stories reflected in the exhibits, and leave inspired to change their own neighborhoods.
Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today!
We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
