President Obama's Farewell Address to the American People
For the 44th time in the 283 years of the Republic of the United States of America, one President will step down as another takes their place. In the grand tradition of the office, outgoing President Barack Obama gave his farewell speech in Chicago, the city that he called home and gave him his start in politics. Over his nearly hour-long speech, President Obama cited the challenges, successes, failures, and his still-strong belief in the ability of this nation to change for the better.
