Barack Obama bid an emotional goodbye to his time as President of the United States last night and it's fair to say the rest of the world is also mourning the fact that his time is up.
Obama returned to his home town of Chicago to make his final speech to a massive crowd and while there were many celebs in attendance, both those present and not were making their feelings about the end of Obama's tenure known on social media.

He never got cynical, he never gave up. Obama is still that same guy who stepped onto that stage in 2004: a hopeful believer in America.
