Americans Remember The Good Times With #ObamaDay

By Kristy Puchko | Twitter | January 20, 2017 |

Today, we say with no irony, just pure sincerity and gratitude: Thanks, Obamas. The love for the outgoing First Family is radiant across Twitter, where the hashtag #ObamaDay celebrates President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their bright and lovely daughters, Sasha and Malia.

The hashtag kicked off (again) thanks, to #OscarsSoWhite originator April Reign.

Fri: I'm bringing back #ObamaDay. All day long, let's share our favorite pics of the Obamas. Let's also use @MichaelSkolnik's #ObamaAndKids.
