There's a greater meaning behind those "Missing Obama" posters you're seeing online

Since President Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, there have been missing posters popping up for former President Barack Obama.

"Missing. Have you seen this man?" the poster's header reads in all caps. It continues to describe details about the 44th president, such as "last seen walking out of a large white house" and "likes basketball and health care."

The posters have not only flooded American neighborhoods throughout the nation - and even across the world - they have also gone viral throughout social media. The posters have been tagged in Instagram posts in cities in California, New York City and even Stockholm.

There are even designated social media accounts in charge of coordinating the hunt for the former president, as well as a website to headquarter the search. According to MissingObama.org, the "missing" title doesn't actually refer to Obama physically being missing, but rather because they miss Obama's leadership and social example.

"The role he played as president for eight years is also 'missing.' Trump is severely unqualified to act as the President and Commander in Chief of the United States of America," the description reads. "This poster also represents the importance of freedom of expression. It encourages us to be vocal and engage in political conversation. The election is over, but democracy isn't. Speaking up can mean anything, from something as simple as liking a post to something more interactive like organizing a protest. Expression is vital on every level."

These are among the thousands of ways Americans are using their freedom of expression to the fullest extent. Since Trump's inauguration, there have been multiple gatherings of protests calling out the 45th president for is rocky election campaign and controversial policy changes.
