“New phone, who dis?” —Obama, probably
On Jan. 20, Barack Obama’s second term as the 44th president of the United States came to an end and he passed the torch to Donald Trump.
Since leaving the White House, Obama has quickly settled into vacation mode.
Most recently he’s been making water sports great again.

But seeing Obama enjoying himself has made some people a bit sad.
Obama is like America's ex and now whenever we see him doing fun stuff it just makes us sad

And they’ve deemed him America’s ex-bae because…
1. He’s officially put America on his “do not call” list.

2. The US is now that former partner who tries to move on, but it’s just too hard.
Looking at President Obama's vacation pics make me feel like I'm stalking an ex on Instagram.

3. Fun fact: Mariah Carey’s “Don’t Forget About Us” was actually about Obama.

8. Sometimes you may find yourself wondering, Was it ever really real?
"It's like our relationship didn't mean anything. Look at him all happy. He doesn't miss us at all!"

13. You’ve probably got a better chance of rekindling things with your high school sweetheart than with Obama tbh.
