Aside from giving millions of Americans a long weekend, usually we don’t make much of a fuss when it comes to President’s Day. But, given the craziness of the current administration, President’s Day 2017 is sort of bumming us out. We long for the days when a charismatic senator charmed the pants off of us and made our world a better place. Though Barack and Michelle Obama are firmly planted in civilian life, that doesn’t mean that we can’t take a stroll down memory lane to relive some of our favorite Barack moments.
Barack Rides Those Waves
We couldn’t have asked for a better first photo of former President Barack Obama enjoying his life outside the Oval Office than the above image of him kitesurfing. According to a blog post from Sir Richard Branson, Barack told him that during his eight years in office he wasn’t allowed to surf since it was considered too dangerous. Branson then promised Barack that if he learned to kitesurf, Branson would learn to foilboard and the two would have a contest to see who could stay up the longest. I think you can guess who won.
