Awww!!!!..What A Way To End The Year 2015, Says Romantic President Obama.

                             Obama also shared a message on Twitter to ring in 2016, but this short and sweet post was instead a tribute to his First Lady Michelle Obama 


President Obama has ushered in the New Year by sharing a sweet snap of him and his First Lady. 
'Ring in the new year with the one you love,' he wrote in the tweet. 
Accompanying the message was a photo of the couple, Obama's hands wrapped around Michelle as he gazes adoringly at her while she smiles for the camera.

The president also took to Facebook to share a New Years message, one that focused on his achievements from 2015 and looked ahead as his final year in the White House begins. 
Obama wished Americans a happy New Year and said there was plenty for him to be 'grateful for' from the past year.


'Businesses that continued an all-time record streak of job creation; a health care system that covers more than 90 percent of us for the first time,' he began in his list. 
'A country where all our marriages are equal under the law for the first time; a world united around a prosperous, low-carbon future for the first time.'  
But Obama revealed it was the very citizens he serves that he was most grateful for, and the fact that he was their president.

'It's your hard work, determination, and fundamental decency that led us forward through 2015, and that will keep leading us forward in 2016,' he wrote.  
'Because of you, as long as I've had the privilege to serve in this office, I've never been more optimistic for a year ahead.'

Obama concluded his message by revealing that his resolution was to use 'every day' he has left in office to 'keep making the promise of this country a reality for all of us'. 
The message was posted with a picture of Obama giving high fives to a group of young school children.   
Obama wasted no time getting back to work after spending two weeks on vacation with his family in Hawaii.

The president is meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Monday to see what executive actions he can take to address background checks in the gun control reform efforts.  

'The gun lobby is loud and well organized in its defense of effortlessly available guns for anyone,' Obama said in his weekly radio address. 
'The rest of us are going to have to be just as passionate and well-organized in our defense of our kids.'

Obama said he knew he couldn't 'sit around and do nothing' as more and more letters poured in from worried parents, teachers and children about the 'epidemic of gun violence'.  
The president recently directed staff at the White House to look into potential executive actions. 

Obama also recently signed into law a Congress-approved bill that will phase out plastic microbeads used in soaps, body washes and other personal-care products starting in 2017.  
Lawmakers said the bill was needed to protect fish and wildlife that are ingesting the tiny beads after they are rinsed down the drain and discharged into lakes and rivers.
