Nation’s dad who still loves you very much but he’s gonna be movin’ out, champ Barack Obama is now no longer the President of the United States. And the first thing he did as a free citizen is exactly what your dad, my dad, and all dads would do, which is to put on some performance fleece.

As you can clearly see, this isn’t the Twitter account of the most powerful leader of the free world, but instead the Twitter account of your dad, a man of simple pleasures who wears Patagonia, enjoys moderate-to-medium level hikes, and probably uses the word “appeteasers.”
While it is indeed a very weird and sad day, I, for one, am at least happy that Obama can now lean full-on into dadhood, wearing all the dadwear he desires.
