President Obama feted his guests one last time at the traditionally inclined White House Correspondents Dinner and while there is a quite a bit of ground to cover – we have to start off by giving a major shout out to the coolest person to ever attend the coveted event.

President Obama and Michelle Obama
The stages of grief have begun. While watching President Obama — the first black man ever to occupy The White House as Commander-In-Chief — I felt a surge of panic overtake me.
I was sweaty, breathless but surprisingly not disorientated which ruled out my initial diagnosis of a possible panic attack.
No, I was actually freaking out. Hours later — I’m still freaking out as I ponder a future without Barack Hussein Obama II — son of a Kenyan father and an American mother.
Michelle Obama stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and hilariously expressed what she’s looking forward to the most when she and the first family vacate the White House in a year.

Ahead of the Met Ball that will be overtaking the city of New York in a few hours, Michelle Obama found time to pay homage to Vogue Magazine’s Queen Bee, Anna Wintour, who received the honor of having a newly formed institute at the Metropolitan Museum named after her.
