People are already missing him as President, but I'm glad he's giving back to the community in his spare time.

Living la bella vita! Michelle Obama bares her shoulder in a flirty strappy top as she and Barack are met by cheering crowds while visiting a local cathedral during their vacation in Tuscany

Michelle Obama has been enjoying her Italian vacation in style—and got a welcome fit for a star as she and her husband visited the city of Siena, Tuscany today.
The former First Lady looked especially glamorous as she stepped out in a flirty shoulder-baring top, paired with a high-waisted khaki-colored pants. Her husband, who previously went out for a scenic bike ride in the countryside, had ditched his sporty outfit for a polished shirt and pants.
A massive crowd cheered after spotting the former presidential couple, with some fans yelling: 'President Obama!'

Stylish: Michelle Obama looked especially glamorous as she stepped out in Sienna, Tuscany today wearing a flirty shoulder-baring top, paired with a high-waisted kaki-colored pants
Star treatment: A massive crowd cheered after spotting the couple, with some fans yelling, 'President Obama!'
Flirty! The former First Lady was snapped from all angles by eager bystanders
Summer style: Michelle wore a pair of open-toe sandals with her laid-back warm weather look
The pair, who arrived in Italy Friday on a private plane escorted by six fighter jets and a 13-car motorcade, had a police car waiting for them in the streets of Siena today, and a siren could be heard as they made their way outside.
While Barack waved at the crowd and smiled at his adoring supporters, Michelle briefly salted the fans, then kept her head demurely bowed, adopting a more reserved attitude than the outgoing demeanor she typically displayed as First Lady.
Michelle accessorized her frilly white top with golden jewelry and a glamorous pair of sunglasses.
She was careful to lift the bottom of her flowy pants before climbing some stairs, revealing flat tan sandals.
The couple appeared to be stepping out of the Duomo di Siena - the Siena Cathedral - a stunning medieval building dating back to the twelfth century.
But the couple has not restricted themselves to historical sites as far as enjoying all that the country has to offer.
Earlier today, Barack was spotted heading out on a bike ride with at least two of his security team.
Keeping his Secret Service agents active, the former president raced them to the top of an Italian hill, and rode down with them in formation.
But even the exercise and Italian sunshine couldn't bring the buff 55-year-old out in a sweat, as he kept things cool in a baseball cap, grey T-shirt and shorts.
Over the weekend, Michelle wore a pretty off-the-shoulder pink top, with white ripped jeans and white sandals as she wandered around the stunning Italian hill town of Montalcino, accompanied by members of her security team.

Cool and calm: Michelle looked relaxed and laid-back as she made her way through Siena
The former First Lady was later seen tucking into some Italian gelato before she climbed into her waiting car.
Meanwhile, Barack hit the Castiglion del Bosco golf course - Italy's only private golf club set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
He seemed to relish getting behind the wheel of the golf cart - something he wasn't allowed to do while he was in the White House as presidents are not allowed to drive.
Membership to the club is by invitation only and the course was designed by Tom Weiskopf, a former professional golfer.
Italian state and armed police, the Polizia di Stato and the Carabinieri, helped keep the 18-hole course secure while the former president played.
The former president and first lady began their vacation on Friday, when they touched down at Grosseto Air Base in Tuscany, their private jet accompanied by six Eurofighter Fourth Wing jets.
Awkwardly, the Obamas' private jet flight came just days after Barack spoke out about the importance of addressing climate change and its impact on the world's food supply, during a speech at the Institute for International Political Studies in Milan.

Strike a pose: One of the chefs who cooked for Barack and Michelle on Saturday night posted this picture on his Instagram account, describing the moment as a 'seriously giant highlight of my cooking career'
Adding to their carbon footprint, the couple was then whisked away in an armored Chevrolet as part of a 13-car motorcade, transporting them to their incredible Tuscan villa Borgo Finocchieto, as many Italians lined the streets to wave them as they passed.
Michelle and Barack will have Borgo Finocchieto to themselves during their five-night stay—at an eye-watering cost of $15,000 per night.
Not that the couple are likely to have paid, as the villa is owned by the ex-president's former ambassador to Italy, John Philips.
The family will be ensured privacy at their villa, which is a kilometer away from prying eyes on the road. Italian authorities have even imposed a ban on wild boar hunting, just in case the former president is accidentally shot. They are expected to fly out on May 24.
The Obamas, who have been on multiple vacations since leaving the White House in January, will reportedly visit Florence and Siena during their vacation.
Resting on more than six acres of rolling hillside near Buonconvento, 45 miles south of Florence, the village of Borgo Finocchieto provides superb views of the surrounding countryside - but what's inside the villa and its attached homes is just as stunning.
According to its official website, Borgo Finocchieto - its name translates as 'village of fennel fields' - has 22 bedrooms across its five buildings.
On Sunday, Barack teed off at the exclusive course of Castiglion del Bosco, Tuscany, the day after he and Michelle arrived at Borgo Finocchieto
Italian state police kept security around the course while the former US president hit the links. Pictured are the state police, called the Polizia di Stato, left, and one of their vehicles, right
The armed police, called the Carabinieri, also helped keep the course secure. They are pictured left and one of their vehicles is pictured right
A Carabinieri officer is pictured setting up red tape to help keep the area secure as Barack Obama plays golf
The Borgo Finocchieto is a refurbished 14th century village that the Obamas will have to themselves during their five-night stay
The largest of those rooms is a colossal 800sqft 'Medici' master bedroom with its own steam room, Jacuzzi and sauna.
As well as the smaller dining spaces in the villas, there are two full-scale dining rooms that seat a total of up to 44 people, as well as outdoor dining spaces, a wine-tasting room and a wet bar.
There are also courts for fans of tennis, basketball and the Italian bowling game bocce, as well as a group spa, sauna and steam room, a swimming pool, and a gym and fitness center.
And visitors are cared for by a staff of 19, including a concierge, executive chef, wait staff, bartender and housekeepers.
Special requests can also be made to explore the surrounding countryside on horseback, by car or scooter, or even using helicopters and hot air balloons.
It's a countryside worth exploring: The verdant green fields - dotted here and there with trees and hedges, rising up into distant mountains - are beautiful enough, and have been largely unchanged for 1,000 years.
But there are also other stunning locations to explore just a short drive away, from the winding cobbled streets of Buonconvento just over a mile away to a collection of castles, mansions and other villages a short car journey away.
All of this has been made open to the Obamas, who are traveling from Milan, 197 miles northwest of the village, at the weekend.
Barack and Michelle arrived in Italy on a private plane (pictured) on Friday for a six day vacation in Tuscany
The former president and first lady's plane were escorted by six Eurofighter Fourth Wing jets as it landed at Grosseto Air Base
The Obamas arrived in Tuscany on Friday and were escorted away from the military air base airport in an armored Chevrolet
The former president and first lady's armored Chevrolet were part of a 13-car motorcade
The motorcade, transporting them to their incredible Tuscan villa Borgo Finocchieto, passed by many Italians who lined the streets to wave them as they passed
Borgo Finocchieto first appeared on maps in Italy in 1318, when it was built by the noble Borghese family, whose members included Pope Paul V.
The fields surrounding the five-building village were farmed by peasants and sharecroppers, and by 1960 it had become home to 21 families, according to a 2007 report by The New York Times.
But it had also become run-down, with the chapel being used as a barn and livestock being kept on the ground floor of a manor house.
So in 2001, Philips - who made a small fortune as a public rights lawyer, and served as ambassador to Italy under Obama from 2014-2017 - bought it up and started reconstructing it 30,000sqft of buildings.
That proved to be an even bigger task than it sounds.
'Rebuilding was expected to be totally consistent with what was there before,' Phillips told the NYT.
'If there was a window 300 years ago that had been covered up, you could put the window back, but you could not add a new window.'
Thankfully, Italy has documentation on many buildings dating back centuries that details the dimensions - and sometimes even materials - of buildings.
Resting on more than six acres of rolling hillside near Buonconvento, 45 miles south of Florence, the village of Borgo Finocchieto provides superb views of the surrounding countryside (pictured is an aerial view)
Stately: The various buildings include this stately library, as well as a gym and fitness room, and multiple steam rooms, saunas and Jaccuzis. It is owned by John Philips, former ambassador to Italy under Barack Obama
Spacious: There are two group dining rooms in the building, allowing for a total of 44 people to be seated across them. The villa has been redesigned with business conferences in mind, but the Obamas will likely be focusing on pleasure instead
Atmospheric: The exterior of the 'village' is atmospherically lit at night - including this rather charming little courtyard. Vvisitors are cared for by a staff of 19, including a concierge, executive chef, wait staff, bartender and housekeepers
Fine dining: The outdoor dining areas (one pictured at rear) are relaxing on a warm Italian summer's night - perfect for a private dinner party
Renting: Visitors can rent out nine bedrooms in the main house for $7,000 per night, or all 22 bedrooms - across all five buildings - for $15,200 per night
Relaxation: The house also offers a swimming pool with gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside - ensuring the ultimate in vacation relaxation for those lucky enough to go there
And while the exteriors could not be changed, the interiors were allowed amendment - which meant that the chapel-turned-barn could be transformed into the four-bedroom Santa Teresa suite.
Materials for both the exterior and interior were also sourced from within the country, ensuring that, despite its new American owner, it would remain unmistakably Italian.
According to La Cure villas, visitors can rent out nine bedrooms in the main house for $7,000 per night, or all 22 bedrooms - across all five buildings - for $15,200 per night. There is a minimum three-night reservation.
Obama traveled to Italy last week to speak at the 'Seeds & Chips - Global Food Innovation' summit.
There, he talked about climate change and made a pointed remark about Trump, saying people 'get the politicians [they] deserve' when they don't vote.
He has been joined by Michelle, who on Friday spoke at the summit for the Partnership for a Healthier America in Washington, DC.
She also took Trump to task, asking why his administration canceled her project to provide schools with healthier meals.
'You have to stop and think, "Why don't you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you, and why is that a partisan issue?"' she said.
