Is Anyone Having More Fun Than Barack Obama This Year? Not Likely

Days later, Barack really let loose when he accepted Richard Branson's kitesurfing challenge. Clad in a tank top and swim trunks, Barack seemed to be in full relaxation mode as he rode the waves and splashed around in the water.

In February, Barack was all laughs as he chatted backstage with the cast of Broadway's The Price in NYC.

In April, Barack played Instagram husband on a yacht with Michelle during another one of their fun getaways in Tahiti. Also along for the fun were pals Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Bruce Springsteen, and Oprah Winfrey.

Barack was practically glowing as he strolled through the streets of Bologna, Italy, in May.

The former president could barely hide his excitement when he went whitewater rafting with Michelle and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, during their trip to Indonesia in July.

In September, Barack had a boys' day out with Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in Canada.

Barack kicked back with George W. Bush and Bill Clinton at the Presidents Cup at Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey in September.
