Photos Of President Obama That Will Remind You Exactly Why You're Going To Miss Him

Exactly one month after America turned 240 years young on July 4, President Barack Obama is turning 55. He doesn't look a day over 30, though, of course. While all birthdays are a cause for celebration, there's something particularly special about this one. This is sadly the last birthday our Commander in Chief will be spending in the White House. As Obama's second term winds down, it's getting harder and harder to accept that he's almost done leading our great nation. From his inspirational speeches to his impressive arsenal of dad jokes, there's too many reasons to count and too many hilarious, heartwarming, or memorable photos of President Obama that prove exactly why so many people are going miss Obama when his term is up.

The best way to deal with the looming end of Obama's presidency is to revisit all the reasons we've loved having him as our Commander in Chief. Let's take a look at some of the birthday boy's shining moments from the last eight years. Get your tissues ready and try not to get too upset thinking about saying goodbye to one of the coolest President's America has ever had. There are still five more months left for Obama to have some more mic dropping moments before he says goodbye.

And if you're still unable to cope? Take a look at these photos and feel better about life in general:
