Tonight will be the last night we all go to bed with Barack Obama as president. Whether you agree with him politically or not, it's hard to argue that he and his family have not been model occupants of the White House. Obama has been the embodiment of everything "family values" conservatives have always said that a president should be; a dedicated family man, a man of faith, one completely free from the stains of scandal or corruption, one who held a deep reverence for the office of the presidency and all that it stood for. He exuded grace, class, dignity, and compassion at all times. We have been proud to call him our president for the past eight years, and we will miss him.
Anyway, below are some things we made for you that we didn't want you to miss. Oh, and here's a song of the day for you: "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss" by PM Dawn
