Barack Obama’s Most Adorable Moments With Children

Happy Birthday Obama!

Barack Obama

Barack Hussein Obama, 44th President of the United States and first African American to serve as president, turned 56 today. This is his first birthday since leaving office in January and it seems this year’s festivities will be much more laid back than last year’s when he threw a huge bash in the White House, with celebrity guests including Beyoncé and Jay-Z. There has been so much love today on social media from his fans.

Obama, during his time as President, showed a lot of love for children and we have picked out some of the most adorable pictures he took with kids over the years.

First of all, we begin with his daughters, Malia and Sasha
