Barack and Michelle Obama sat down for an interview with Good Morning America host Robin Roberts to promote the opening of the new Obama Presidential Center.
The Obama Presidential Center, which cost more than $850 million to look like a trash heap on the South Side of Chicago, will officially open to the public on Juneteenth (June 19).
All former presidents and first ladies attended the opening ceremony on Thursday.
Obama said that he hopes his presidential center inspires the next generation.
“I’m not interested in the center and the exhibits being an exercise in nostalgia. I don’t want people to just be looking back and say, ‘Oh, wow. Hope and change. That was so much fun. And I miss you.’ Those are nice sentiments,” Barack Obama told “Good Morning America” host Robin Roberts.
“Fun,” Barack Obama said.
“Me,” Michelle Obama said.
