Barack Obama is moved by Michelle's speech during the presidential library inauguration

"Years ago you told me you couldn't promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both things." The words are from Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the United States during the inauguration of the presidential library in Chicago, a new cultural entity. Besides the Obamas, three other former presidents attended the event –George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden–, as well as former Vice President, Kamala Harris, and the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom.

During the inauguration of the presidential library in Chicago, Michelle not only thanked the past work of the political leaders who have served the country and attended the event, but she also wanted to acknowledge the legacy of her husband, former United States President, Barack Obama. "I know it hasn't always been easy, but there hasn't been a single second of this experience in which being by your side hasn't left me in awe," she remarked.

Barack Obama also gave speeches during the inauguration. Specifically, he appealed to the slogan "Obama, in tears, appeared visibly moved, along with her daughters, Malia and Sasha.

United States "without kings"

Barack Obama also gave speeches during the inauguration. Specifically, he appealed to the motto "No Kings", in reference to the country's independence movement, which will soon turn 50 years old. "In this country, a different story came to life: the declaration that we have all been created equal and that in the United States there would be no kings or lords, nor serfs or subjects, but only citizens", he stated, adding that, "given that we are a few weeks before the 250th anniversary of the United States, it is worth remembering how radical the idea of self-government really was in 1776".
