More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
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.
@JoCote3030@TimRunsHisMouth@grok My mother gave birth to 10 children and there’s no photos of her pregnant …. It’s normal not to have photos of you pregnant
here's Michelle Obama's entire speech commemorating the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, which in part served as an extended (tacit) rebuke of Trumpism
BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Barack Obama's close friend and Chair of the Obama Foundation Board, Marty Nesbitt just wore a tan suit to mock Republicans at President Obama's Presidential library opening. This is awesome.
@truthseeker151@allenanalysis She can’t be that overrated if she has millions of fans and millions of dollars …. She’s more loved than you’ll ever be… go be miserable somewhere else
@Tonychauffeur@atrupar They did more than enough for 8 years they deserve their rest the question is “What are you doing” how are you contributing? What will be your legacy? There’s is cemented already in the history books.
Michelle Obama: Not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you… the claims that a U.S. Senator and constitutional law expert wasn't qualified for the job. The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you'd had a son that he too would be black, yet you were unflappable at every turn, always focused.
We're not crying, you are.🥹
Michelle Obama stepped to that podium and gave her husband every single flower he deserved. She spoke directly to Barack and brought him to tears.
This is what love and legacy look like. 🖤
I am Michelle, and she is alllll of US. Because don’t we all turn into the lead singer when our favorite song comes on? 😂🎤
Ohhhhhhhh the joy of the Obama’s- loooove to see it…They’re deeply missed.✨🎶🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
The Obama Presidential Center is finally opening!
Tune in today on https://t.co/GYkEOK8EuT starting at 11am CT as Michelle and I share what this moment means to us and celebrate with friends, family, and members of the community in Chicago.
