=President Barack Obama's Farewell Address, Jan 10, 2017=

Ten days before the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the United States, out-going president Barack Obama spoke to the nation and a huge crowd in his hometown of Chicago about his growth in the office and his hopes for the future of the country. He gave quite a history lesson, taught the Constitution, gave credit to American citizens for being the key to change, and expressed his hope in your generation. It was a very positive address.
