Obama Was Spotted in NYC Today & the Internet is Very Much Here for It

His vacay may be over, but Barack Obama is still continuing to live his best life.

The former-POTUS was spotted leaving a meeting on Fifth Avenue in New York City today, causing bystanders and basically all of the Internet to collectively lose it. In the video footage, Obama can be seen waving to crowds tie-less, iced coffee in hand – he may be back from vacation, but he’s clearly doing just fine. The video only catches a glimpse of him for a few seconds, but we’re still so here for it.

While it’s unlikely that he’s returned to save us from the current political situation (bummer), we’re guessing he was in town to visit Malia, who is living in New York while interning at the Weinstein Company – and our suspicions are all but confirmed by an Insta posted by NYC restaurant Emilio’s Ballato, photographic proof of Malia and her dad having dinner together.

Meanwhile, these tweets basically summed up all our feelings about this very valuable Obama sighting:

DAD! Please come back soon.
