16. Can you believe we had the good fortune to have Michelle as our First Lady

for eight years?

Obama would have been nothing without her by his side.

It almost seems like a dream.

While Obama's legislative achievements will reverberate through history (the ACA is a lifesaver and forever changed the healthcare expectation in our country), it is his and Michelle's imprint on the upcoming generation that will change our country for the better. They were and are a positive force.

I am so fortunate to have experienced the years of Obama and Michelle in the White House. LGBT rights came to the forefront, and we were led out of of recession. There is so much that they accomplished for women and children and the arts. There are too many things to list, really.

Happy Birthday, Michelle!
