The day has finally come where we have to vote a new President into office. It’s a difficult day for all of us. We’re not only losing our President in a couple of months, but a member of our family. Twitter user @ReignofApril started the #ObamaDay hashtag, asking users to relive that moment when President Obama won in 2008. Twitter took it beyond that. They remembered their favorite moments from his tenure and reminded us of why its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. *cue Boyz II Men*
We are doing this. Today is #ObamaDay. Capture the magic you felt in 2008 & since then w/ a pic, meme, or memory. Relive that feeling. pic.twitter.com/ZFl9AHC6v7

Even though we are celebrating #Obamaday we had to vote first.

For some it was the first time they were able to vote in an election.

Today isn’t his last day in office. ( We still have two more months folks.) He’s already taken his final bow, but it still feels good to celebrate him.
