President Barack Obama is ESSENCE magazine's July 2012 cover subject. Check out our dapper leader inside...
“I’ve always approached my presidency as a long-term proposition…I didn’t run for office just to clean up the mess I inherited. I didn’t run for office just to return to the status quo. Understanding that some of the things I get done, we may not see the benefits from them for ten years. But that’s how change happens…” —President Barack Obama
Our distinguished President, who turns 51 this August, is looking dapper on the new cover of Essence mag, on stands June 12th. He discusses his plan to improve the economy, our health, homes and future—and why he’s excited about the next four years. This month's issue also features a special salute to military families from First Lady Michelle Obama.
Mr. President spent yesterday in New York City at a few fundraisers and even "performed" a "Barack On Broadway" show with former President Clinton. Nice!
