“President Barack Obama has been an undeniable beacon light, something that all of us and our families can aspire to. He is not only a vital part of African American history but he is a crucial part of American History. His Presidency is a demonstration of what America often professes to be and an example of what we all hope America can be. He had unmatchable power, and often used it wisely and carefully, sometimes maybe too carefully but his legacy will live for generations to come.

His commitment to his girls, his relationship with Michelle Obama his dedication to this country and the world will always be a shining example of what the African American Family can be when given the opportunity.”
