The President of the United States of America, Barack Obama and
First Lady, Michelle Obama are one stunning pair on the cover of Essence
Magazine‘s October 2016 issue.
The power couple are all smiles on the Special Collector’s Issue,
as the magazine sends them off after serving their country for 8 years
come November.
Barrack and Michelle spoke on their life in the White House, the state of the nation and the legacy they hope to leave behind.
In the latest edition, President Obama said;
“I can unequivocally say that America is better off now than we
were when we came into office. By almost every economic measure, we’re
better off. But having said that, we still have a lot of work to do.
"The memories that last ultimately aren’t the family memories.
Some of my fondest memories of the White House are just being with the
girls on a summer night and walking the dogs around the South Lawn,
talking and listening to them, trying to get Bo to move because
sometimes it’s hot."
Mrs Obama also shared her thoughts on being a positive impact for black children. She said;
“I think when it comes to Black kids, it means something for
them to have spent most of their life seeing the family in the White
House look like them. It matters. All the future work that Barack talked
about, I think over these last few years, we’ve kind of knocked the
ceiling of limitation off the roofs of many young kids; imaginations of
what’s possible for them.
"And as a mother, I wouldn’t underestimate how important that
is, having that vision that you can really do anything—not because
somebody told you, but because you’ve seen and experienced it. I think
that will be a lasting impact on our kids,” she says.
