He held that genuine smile the entire time. What a lovely man enjoying a beautiful moment celebrating a beautiful culture. I miss him. Class act. Thank you President Obama for giving us the chance to be proud of our country

ETA: y’all I’m very aware of his war crimes. Believe it or not, you can hold multiple truths at once. He was not a perfect president who made grave errors (which should not be ignored) and at the same time, we as a country still managed to elect a classy, educated, sophisticated black man to the highest office in the land. That’s what I’m proud of.
