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.

I hope some Freeper posts a live thread, or use this.
Because I just can’t wait to hear more of this man’s gloating over nothing.
“and to offer some thoughts on where we all go from here,” Obama wrote.
because we all depend on him for the direction of our lives.
Barack Obama.....you’re no George Washington!
Where do we go from here? We decided that....MAGA!
The tool is a malignancy on civil society. What a worthless putz.
There certainly can’t be any truth to the rumor that he intends to become a madam in a Nairobi bathhouse.
Bye, don’t let the door hit ya’...and leave the furniture, silverware, and “T” keyboard keys, you complete failures.
Early speech script....
(I, me, mine) x 1000
Now, fill in a few other choice words.
This might be the only time he has been back to Chicago since Usurpation Day.
And probably the only time he will ever go there again.
They were only useful as a stepping stone.
The way he organized the south side of Chicago has turned it into Chicongo.
More aimless blather from a feckless fool. Go away and leave us alone, you’ve damaged our country and lives enough you worthless piece of subhuman drivel.
If only it were a real “farewell”.
IMO, Obama should deliver his farewell address at the Detroit Wastewater Treatment Plant, one of the largest sewage plants in the USA. What could be more appropriate, for him, Kerry, Jarrett, Lerner, Reid, Pelosi Schumer, and the rest of the DC RAT garbage to be in attendance?
If he just wants to say b-bye right now, I’d be all right with that.
Sounds good to me.
He plans “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.”
Typical con job.
He’s leaving DC as a billionaire from ripping off our tax dollars.......and he wants to “thank us”(for making him and the missus filthy rich).
You got it perfect.
today I am in a mood to sit and listen to him, unusual, but I know he will be going away, such as it is, soon.
I just hope he doesn’t forget the Greek columns.
