Comparing Michelle to Melania is like comparing a Prius to a Lamborghini.

This Supreme Court is setting fire to our democracy.

The SAVE Trump Act would disenfranchise MILLIONS of eligible voters from participating in our upcoming elections.
Trump knows it.
Republicans know it.
They don't care.
Their obsession with power and corruption trumps their allegiance to the American people and our democracy.

Growing up, I watched my mom sort bills at the kitchen table. She worked hard and still had to make tough choices about which bills to pay now and which to pay later. We're the richest country in the world, yet too many parents still face this reality. I’m working to change that.

Note that his hands are bruise-free and as young looking as ever.
I miss the President with the normal looking Hands and doesn’t look like a corpse.

We are only 23 days away from the Obama Presidential Center's Grand Opening Celebration, and here in Chicago, that number makes us think of only one person: Michael Jordan.
President Obama invoked Jordan's greatness often, but most notably when talking about resilience in 2009 in a national address to America's schoolchildren given at Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA: "Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots. But he once said, 'I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed.'"
Jordan is part of how so many Americans define greatness. As a global icon whose athletic career, philanthropy, and business vision broke barriers around the world, Jordan's impact is honored in one of our Exhibition Galleries, Toward A More Perfect Union, located on Museum Level 2. This gallery tells the story of the early influences that shaped President and Mrs. Obama and the grassroots energy of the 2008 campaign.
