As a newly minted citizen of this grand country, I am proud and honored to have spent eight of my ten years here with the Obamas.
On Feb. 12, 2018, the National Portrait Gallery unveiled the commissioned portraits of the former president and first lady.
Barack Obama's painting by Kehinde Wiley and Michelle Obama's by Amy Sherald mark a high point in our history and highlight our humanity.
Each and all four are shining bright beacons of what it takes to be an excellent human being.
The Obamas made history as the first African American president and first lady. They won our hearts as they exhibited all the grace and elegance humanly possible in the execution of their public office.
They are universally loved and admired for their innate mindfulness and compassionate natures.
They make us all proud to be a part of this historical moment in all our lives.
Check out some of the highlights from the event, and see the painting in person at the Smithsonian Museum.
