The Obamas' White House Hanukkah Reception

"...Even when our resources seem limited, our faith can help us make the most of what little we have....the relatively small Jewish population of this country have punched far above their weight in their contributions to the world..."

The Final Interview With The Obamas (Full Interview) PEN Entertainment Weekly

Sleepovers on the South Lawn with Girl Scouts? Grandma's perspective? Letting go of the daughters? The daughters letting go of the White House as home? An open First Family staying conservative in their parenting?

I can't say enough how I'll miss our All-American Family. We will never have another First Family like them.

It's with a heavy heart that I say farewell to this family as the last vestige of America's democracy.

Ella's Song

Black brothers and sisters have taught us that in all the work in years ahead, singing ourselves there and beyond will strengthen us. We need the practice.

We who believe in freedom cannot rest,

We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes.

Until the killing of Black men, Black mothers’ sons

Is as important as the killing of White men, White mothers’ sons


And that which touches me most is that I had a chance to work with people

Passing on to others that which was passed on to me


To me young people come first, they have the courage where we fail

And if I can shed some light as they carry us through the gale


The older I get the better I know that the secret of my going on

Is when the reins are in the hand of the young who dare to run against the storm


Not needing to clutch for power, not needing the light just to shine on me

I need to be just one in the number as we stand against tyranny
