Today is the day Barack Obama hands over the presidency to his unlikely successor, Donald Trump.

Barack Obama made history in 2008 when he was elected as the first black president of the United States and has since then made some memorable moments.

Here are Barack’s best bits:

Let’s start with the night history was made. On November 4 2008, Barack Obama beat Republican candidate, John McCain to become the first ever black president-elect. This was his victory speech.

Obama led the church singing Amazing Grace at the funeral of Clementa Pinckney, who was one of nine people killed in a church by Dylann Roof in Charleston, South Carolina.

What’s Obama without Michelle?

Obama’s been great but we know he would be nothing without his wife, Michelle. She has always been there for him and Obama loves to acknowledge that when he can. Michelle Obama has equally been a great First Lady and we’ll miss her too. Below is their first dance as the President and First Lady with the one and only Beyoncé serenading them.

Obama is often regarded as the coolest president ever – and he didn’t disappoint us during his eight years in office. He showed the world that even though he was the most powerful man on the planet, he doesn’t take himself too seriously, can crack a joke or two and even slow jam the news.

Barack Obama + Joe Biden = friendship goals!

Obama and his Vice President Joe Biden have built along the years a budding bromance which everyone has fallen in love with. Whether it’s running together in the White House or gifting and receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, these two have shown us what real friendship looks like.
