President Obama’s Farewell Address: Full Video and Text

DOUG MILLS/THE NEW YORK TIMES
JANUARY 10, 2017
The following is the complete text of President Obama’s address as prepared for delivery, provided by the White House.

It’s good to be home. My fellow Americans, Michelle and I have been so touched by all the well-wishes we’ve received over the past few weeks. But tonight it’s my turn to say thanks. Whether we’ve seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people – in living rooms and schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant outposts – are what have kept me honest, kept me inspired, and kept me going. Every day, I learned from you. You made me a better President, and you made me a better man.

I first came to Chicago when I was in my early twenties, still trying to figure out who I was; still searching for a purpose to my life. It was in neighborhoods not far from here where I began working with church groups in the shadows of closed steel mills. It was on these streets where I witnessed the power of faith, and the quiet dignity of working people in the face of struggle and loss. This is where I learned that change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged, and come together to demand it.

After eight years as your President, I still believe that. And it’s not just my belief. It’s the beating heart of our American idea – our bold experiment in self-government.

It’s the conviction that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Opeedo:
Those Banks are super greedy, they want to take over a whole house just because of 700K, Oh boy! Na wa o

You blame the bank? Abi na the useless judge when no know him work. I am sure bank give am brown envelop

Is just like saying a dog will take lion. Nonsense

Lilimax:

Don't judge them cos you're in their shoe

What shoe are you talking about? This is the best way to worship God

Pour madness. Christianity has been hijack.

If only 20% of our musicians would be singing and talking about state of the nation, things would get better again
Also is not about APC or any other party, we should vote for competent candidate.

I will tell him to apoint competent people to lead his administration even if is a white man or or any national. Also he should stop appointing folks like minister of sports.

With all this " buy made in Nigeria " the naira can't still fight back.
Which way Naija

The most painful part of its all is, they still refuse to go change that gadamn name
Look at their faces.

That their confused outgoing pressing denied them a whole lot, the nigger deserve a bed next to that Liberian ex warlord/president

Nigerians don't have shame to an extend of hanging. So I don't believe this news

Trunp doesn't write in this manner, the writer sound more like half educated niger deltan with a bit mix of middle belt and south west.

The moment you land at the international aiprort, from the sss down to immigrations, customs,NDLA tout, ur cab man ur hotel security, receptionist, even on the streets, the police and all are beggars.

Mr. President, you are holding shia leader, iPod leader and you are talking about peace and role of laws. Why are you contradicting your self?

In regards to corruption. You are telling 170millions Nigerians with no atom of shame that you are fighting curroption, for your information Turai looted much more than mama peace. amechi, Jagaban and the rest are not corrupt I guess.

Mr. President, with due respect sir, we are not stupiid. Stop disrespecting us.

Wondering why Buhari won't apoint him as sport minister

Beautiful. Hope our leaders can emulate

Candycrusher:
This guy is very brave. No prisoner in Nigeria's history has ever called a sitting president a mad man. Respect mazi nnamdi Kanu

Asari did worst

Somebody should paste his previous prophecy and see how many came to pass.

Just because we keep giving them fee money or bribes and they think we re stupid to believe any nonsense they tell us.

Vic o should marry this girl, they seems to have a lot in common

What was he learning long befor now?

Interesting

Nice moves. But there shouldn't be a need to go to local office to make payment, they should create platform that will enable clients to make payment online.

140- I know this world is not my home. Regardless we will all go back.

Also when you are driving a machine, 140km/ph is normal.
