The Internet is Losing it Over Obama Vacation

By the looks of it, President Barack Obama is never coming back to America! Since Barack and Michelle left the inauguration on January 20, they have been having the time of their lives while the country is in complete turmoil. We guess the Obamas are officially team #notmyproblem. Since vanishing from Washington to go on vacation, the couple have been spotted a few different places. We should have predicted it would be a while before the former Mr. and Mrs. of the United States would be back since Barack switched from the POTUS Twitter account back to his Twitter handle @Barackobama and tweeted “Hi everybody! Back to the original handle. Is this thing still on? Michelle and I are off on a quick vacation, then we’ll get back to work.” It is now two weeks later and Obama’s latest adventure was kitesurfing in the Virgin Islands with his billionaire friend Richard Branson and he’s seen having so much fun that a quick vacation seems to have turned into an extended one! According to Branson, when the former president was in office he wasn’t able to do any extreme watersports (for safety reasons) so he decided to spend his newly found truly free time taking advantage of the beautiful beaches there. Together the friends kite surfed and foil boarded head to head in a friendly contest. During the visit pictures were released of married couple looking super laid back as Obama sported a BACKWARDS hat and Michelle cooling it in a fedora. Before that the couple also vacationed in Palm Springs, California. Word is that the couple stayed in a multi-million-dollar villa, caught some sun by the pool and most likely sipped on some margaritas. Although we sure are glad the Obamas are enjoying their well-deserved time off, we can’t help but be jealous and wait for them to come back! Many people on social media feel the same way because there has been posts about the trending #Obamavacation such as: “Obama really in the BVI in flip flops just chillin” “Just saw Obama in flip flops and a backwards hat… just strolling (on IG). I think i might genuinely love those people.” “Obama's on vacation with the hat backwards. He's never coming back.” In all seriousness hopefully Barack Obama is enjoying his time away after serving the country for eight years. When the couple returns they are rumored to be settling into a $5.3m home in Washington DC until their youngest daughter Sasha Obama graduates.
