It seems like President Barack Obama may have passed on that fire position opening at Spotify, so you should probably apply while you still can. Instead, with the launch of obama.org, he and Michelle take exactly two minutes and two seconds to let us all know what they plan to be up to now that they are private citizens again. However, Michelle says that the number one priority on the list is taking a break, which the entire family deserves more than anyone else in the country. 

But after a much-needed rest, they have a brand-new initiative via a presidential center based in Chicago's Southside. And more than anything else, the goal seems to be helping the citizenship, country-wide, with the problems and issues that they feel are most pertinent and important. Mr. and Mrs. Obama, more than detailing what this project is for specifically, use it as a call to action for the people. They ask for feedback from the American people about what inspires them, the companies and young leaders that they believe in, and what areas of relief the center should be focused on specifically.

If you click around the website you can see information about The Obama Center and what Barack and Michelle hope the building and foundation operating inside will be able to accomplish. There's even info on the architects getting the job done to make the center a reality. The homepage prompts you to "add your voice," with options to submit an idea, share information about an inspiring person or organization you believe in, or make a donation to help build the foundation. Time will only tell when it comes to this new endeavor from the Obama family, but if it's anything like the last eight years it's sure to be great.
