This lovely exchange of messages has set hearts fluttering and reminded many Americans on social media of how much they miss the former first couple.
“This is like watching your ex live happily without you,” blogger Baller Alert said. Another Instagrammer added, “So dassit? They just gone move on like we never existed.”
The couple has been on vacation since they left office.
Americans are inundating the couple with tweets and notes, begging the Obamas to either quit taunting them with their vacation photos, or come back and rescue their country from Trump.
