After eight incredible,
tumultuous, unforgettable years in the White House, the Obamas are
preparing for their final days, and ESSENCE wants to send the First
Family off with a hug and a salute.
President and Michelle Obama
cover the October issue of ESSENCE magazine, in which they talk about
their life in the White House, the state of the nation and the legacy
they hope to leave behind.
“…I
can unequivocally say that America is better off now than we were when
we came into office. By almost every economic measure, we’re better
off,” President Obama said. “But having said that, we still have a lot
of work to do.”
