But despite how much Obama has acted like a fair-weather friend over the years, we're going to miss the Obama administration's commitment to civility, poise, and grace under fire when he leaves office in a month and a half. (This election cycle has certainly shown what happens when you prop up someone without those traits.)
Barack was in town this week to stump for his former rival, Hillary Clinton, at Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens. Obama, as usual, had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand, and threw a few shout-outs to Miamians along the way.
Like him or not, Obama definitely knew how to reach Miamians, whether he was standing on a podium in the Everglades talking about climate change, or laughing with us at the Miami Dolphins' complete lack of talent. Here were the president's five most important Miami moments.
1. Bringing DJ Khaled to a Hillary Clinton rally
2. Becoming best buddies with Miami Heat great Alonzo Mourning
3. Standing in the middle of the Everglades and calling Rick Scott an idiot
4. Calling into DJ Laz's radio show to rag on the Dolphins.
5. Also all that "ending the Cuban embargo" stuff was a pretty big deal. We can have Cuban cigars and fly to Havana now.
