While the people of the internet are coping with (or celebrating) executive orders, immigration bans, and a new president, former commander-in-chief Barack Obama is busy debuting his new alter ego: Uncle Barry.
Sporting a pair of flip-flops and a backwards ball cap, Uncle Barry is vacationing with Michelle in the Virgin Islands post-presidency, and we aren’t sure they’re ever coming back.

Barack Obama may have been a wearer of dad jeans, but Uncle Barry has no time for full-length pants. Shorts and beer are the only way to go. Oh, and hanging out with billionaire Richard Branson.
But when did this transformation take place? When did the suit-clad president and occasional dad-jeans wearer turn into the uncle in charge of the barbecue? Is this a permanent transition?
Some are more concerned with Barack’s return than Barry’s time off.

*Obama comes back from vacation*
Him: “Hey guys! I really needed that 3-week break. Y’all good?”

While others squabble over the new president and new policies, Uncle Barry has only one thing on his mind: his next beer.
