Twitter Comes Together to Thank President Obama for His 8 Years in Office

After eight years in office, President Barack Obama will finish his second term and return to being a private citizen on Friday — something the world is understandably pretty emotional about. So, in order to show how grateful millions of people are for his service over the years, Twitter began the hashtag #ThankYouObama late Thursday night, and it was quickly flooded with people expressing their gratitude and admiration for our 44th president.

Here's just some of what people had to say.
