U.S. President Barack Obama will deliver a farewell address on Jan. 10 to reflect on his time in office and say thank you to his supporters, he said in an email statement released on Monday.
Obama, noting that the first president of the United States, George Washington, had penned a farewell address in 1796, said he would deliver his speech in his hometown of Chicago.
"I'm thinking about (the remarks) as a chance to say thank you for this amazing journey, to celebrate the ways you've changed this country for the better these past eight years, and to offer some thoughts on where we all go from here," he said.
Republican Donald Trump will be sworn in to office on Jan. 20. During his campaign for the White House, Trump pledged to undo many of Obama's signature policy measures, including his healthcare law.
Obama, who campaigned hard for Trump's Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, has sought to ensure a smooth transition of power despite major policy differences with his successor. He also leaves his party without a clear figurehead as he leaves the White House.

Wake island is technically part of the Hawaiian Archipelago.
Perhaps the “Lyin’ King” can retire there with his lovely family.
Thankfully I have made other plans.
The dipstick informed my brothers family they have lost healthcare insurance, and delivered the news during the holidays.
This guy is the worst thing I have seen in mylife and mylife has seen some things.
Trumps with real marble columns and gilded corinthian capitals
Wannabe vs: Is
‘are the old Greek columns in storage or will they have to build new ones!’
Haha! People will be laughing at Obama for many years to come.
+1
I’d prefer it from the inside of a SuperMax... but I’ll settle for him letting the WH door hit him in the arse.
The Current Occupant still has supporters? Who knew?
Now that he has been “termed out”, there is just nowhere for him to go that NEEDS any supporters. Since it is no longer advantageous to contact the Current Occupant for any favors or special considerations, the money boys are off to elsewhere, and the need to generate crowds of “enthusiasts” no longer has any public function.
It would be funny if one of this crowd of “Enthusiasts” tried to take a cut at him during his appearance in Chicago.
The man has done more to divide this nation than anyone in history.
His supporters are kinda mute and steaming at this point,but they are gonna pop
I am stunned by their lack of outrage but they are gonna pop
One more chance to give the American people a good scolding. I’ll only watch this speech if I’m forced to, Clockwork Orange-style.
Thank God the Obama experiment is almost over. At this point he is little more than a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. But for the NOVELTY of being the first “black” president, he would never have been elected. Thankfully the drive to produce the next “novelty” president (Hillary as the first “woman”) was sufficiently diminished to prevent the sheeple from repeating, and thereby reinforcing, the this disastrous trend.
this guy is a cancer to the democrat party.We need him around IMO I worry about the left taking him out and setting up a fake Trump supporter. what better way to take down the movement?
Who cares what that low life worst POTUS Obama ever has to say!!! No one with half a brain cares!!! I am counting the days off until Noon time of January 20th, 2017 arrives, and Obama begins his journey to total failed, obscurity and an eternity in hell with his murdering, Muslim brothers and his real Idol...Satan, himself!!!
What ever you do, don’t do the drinking game with I, me mine.
The little man begs for more face time. A hated president, by all.

Should be a doozy rabble rouser with lots of me-me-me garbage.
Hillary Clinton has become “Homeless” “Mortimer” from the movie “Trading Places”, and Barack Hussein Obama is now the serious love interest of the caged gorilla on the “New Year’s Eve” train. Barry is sure gonna have a stessed time with that hungry groin gorilla!!! Catch the ear-to-ear smile on the Gorilla’s face with Obama locked in the cage with him!!! Eddie Murphy, Ralph Bellamy, Don Ameche & Dan Ackroyd...you dudes are simply awesome!!!
I thought he had already given his FAREWELL speech the other
day; so I’m not buying he’s giving his FAREWELL FAREWELL
speech. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he cut in on
President Trump’s Inaugural Address for an hour and a half
FAREWELL SPEECH, REALLY, BUT NOT “REALLY” SPEECH. :O(
