Michelle and I couldn't be more excited to officially break ground on the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. Tune in live:

Right now, state legislatures across the country are setting new boundaries for state legislative and congressional districts. And in many states, Republicans are drawing maps that allow them to hold onto power.

Happy 97th birthday, President Carter! Thank you for the extraordinary example of lifelong service that you've set for all of us.

It’s always good to be from Chicago, but this year is especially sweet. Congratulations to the @wnbachicagosky  for making it to the WNBA finals, and to the leg @Candace_Parkernd , , for making all of us proud. We’ll be rooting for you.

And of course, I’m excited for my @whitesox  to be back in the playoffs. It’s going to be hard to top a walk-off home run on the Field of Dreams, but if any team can do it, it’s this one. Go Sox!

I was deeply saddened to learn about the passing of General Ray Odierno after a battle with cancer. He devoted his life to serving this country, and for that I will always be grateful. Michelle and I send our thoughts to his wife Linda, and their children.

General Colin Powell understood what was best in this country, and tried to bring his own life, career, and public statements in line with that ideal. Michelle and I will always look to him as an example of what America—and Americans—can and should be.
