Former POTUS Barack Obama appeared in high spirits as he took to the Mid-Pacific Country Club in Hawaii for a round of golf on the same day President Donald Trump was impeached in Washington DC.
Mr. Obama donned white shorts and a pink shirt for the occasion. In addition, he happily waved and smiled at the cameras while enjoying golf.
According to the reports, the Obama family frequently visits and vacations on the island of Oahu because it represents Barack’s birthplace.
As per Hawaii News Now, both Michelle and Barack arrived at the airport on the island in a private plane on Monday, December 16.
The former president’s golfing adventure took place on the same day Donald Trump got impeached by the Democrats-controlled House in DC.
Shortly before his trip to Hawaii, Barack has also appeared at a leadership event in Singapore where he has spoken out and praised women by saying they’re better than men at leading nations.
As BBC News originally reported, the former POTUS suggested we would see “significant improvement across the board” if all nations around the globe were run by women for just two years.
“Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us,” the former president said.
“I’m absolutely confident that for two years, if every nation on Earth was run by women, you would see significant improvement across the board on just about everything … living standards and outcomes.”
In addition, the 58-year-old politician claimed he wouldn’t take on a role of a leader again because he believes old people are responsible for the problems at hand by “not getting out of the way.”
“If you look at the world and look at the problems, it’s usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way,” he added during the expo.
“It is important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life, you are not there in order to prop up your own sense of self-importance or your own power.”
