President Obama used his final weekly address in 2016 to assure Americans that he will remain committed to defending the "progress" made by his administration after handing over the White House to Donald Trump on Jan. 20.
...
While the president initially indicated that he looked forward to a quiet retirement, at a time when many polls showed Democrat Hillary Clinton marching to victory in the presidential election, Obama has said his plans have changed since Trump ran away with the win.
"I promise you that next year Michelle and I are going to be right there with you, and the clouds are going to start parting and the sun is going to come back out, and we're going to be busy, involved in the amazing stuff that we've been doing all these years before," Obama told told supporters in late November. Obama also revealed then that his family plans to stick around Washington, D.C., for a few years while his younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school.
Touting strides made in expanding health insurance coverage, job creation, bringing troops back to the U.S. from Afghanistan and Iraq, and killing al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Obama said Saturday that the country has "made extraordinary progress as a country these past eight years."
The president said income is rising, poverty is falling and the auto industry is "resurgent." Turning to diplomacy, Obama said, "We shut down Iran's nuclear weapons program, opened up a new chapter with the people of Cuba, and brought nearly 200 nations together around a climate agreement that could save this planet for our kids." He also gave a nod to the 2015 Supreme Court ruling to grant nationwide marriage equality.

I heard but have not researched it that the Sec General if the UN cannot be from. Security Council country.nThe US is a permanent member so Obama cannot get the gig
Shut down Iran’s nuke program??? The guy lies terribly.
Of course the sun is going to come back out! TRUMP will be in charge!
He’ll have to wait in line for a tee-time from now on. He won’t have the whole course to himself any more.
Laugh him to scorn!
obama is so full of himself, he can’t see the miserable being he is!
President Trump is, thank God, such a huge presence and influence .. barack obama will become irrelevant. His childish actions are a big contrast to President Trump’s getting things done quickly .... the conservative way.
For those “christians” who can’t see the good in Trump, they are blind and don’t want to see.
Sure he can. He “finds” his kenyan birth certificate and he gets the gig.
Yelp! He also needs to be close by for all the court cases he’s bound to be Subpoenaed to.
Be gone like a fart in high upward winds.
He will be taken out by his own documents!
I, for one, never wish to see his face or hear his voice after Jan 20th. I will mute and change channels or stations on the TV or radio. (And that holds for sound bytes from my favorite hosts). This isn't a boycott, it is the way it is going to be in MY world. I am creating around me an OFZ (Obama Free Zone).
Obama has all the humor of Nero he has already started the fires.
Sayonara, Barky-san.
I promise you that next year Michelle and I are going to be right there with you...
Good grief...eight years of this Azzhole and his cronies is enough. Please don’t let this curse on America continue.
English: "Woo hoo! I'm going to make a mint giving speeches!"
