President Obama is dad goals.

There he is, at his last official White House 4th of July party, with King Kendrick and Queen Janelle on either side of him facing the nation in his final days as commander-in-chief. After waxing poetic for a few moments, like all older black men of distinction can do on demand, he focuses his attention back on the fam.

In addition to the nation’s birthday, the Obama’s celebrated Malia’s 18th birthday on the 4th. Barry O. naturally goes into a hoarse, off key rendition of “Happy Birthday”, that warmed the hearts of people everywhere.

This is an important example of family for all to see.

Black father’s often lack the attention they deserve in the national spotlight for the love of their children, but thanks to the President we’ll have this example forever.

Besides, when will the White House 4th of July celebration ever be this dope again?
