The White House has produced a lovely compilation of people — from average U.S. citizens to celebrities to world leaders — recalling meaningful moments and key accomplishments of President Obama’s presidency.
“Yes, we can.” President Obama spoke these three words for the first time in January 2008 in New Hampshire.
