On Friday morning, President Barack Obama gave one final wave goodbye following Donald Trump's inauguration.
Barack Obama and his wife Michelle are now taking a much-needed vacation down to Palm Springs for two weeks. According to TMZ, the Obamas will be staying at the home of the US ambassador to Spain, James Costos and his husband, interior designer Michael Smith. Prior to this visit, the Obamas have stayed at the Palm Springs home four times.
Shortly after Donald Trump's swearing-in ceremony, Barack Obama took to Twitter for the first time since becoming a regular civilian once again.
Barack Obama's tweet read: "Hi everybody! Back to the original handle. Is this thing still on? Michelle and I are off on a quick vacation, then we'll get back to work."
Hi everybody! Back to the original handle. Is this thing still on? Michelle and I are off on a quick vacation, then we’ll get back to work.
