(CNN) President Barack Obama will deliver his farewell address to the nation on January 10 from his home city of Chicago, the President announced in a statement Monday.

"I'm thinking about them 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," Obama wrote.

President Obama said he was following the precedent set by George Washington, who penned a farewell address to the American people over 220 years ago.

“President Obama said he was following the precedent set by George Washington, who penned a farewell address to the American people over 220 years ago.”

Do you think he means the part where Washington said he was determined to retire to private life?

Or the part where Washington said the system of checks and balances and separation of powers within it are important means of preventing a single person or group from seizing control of the country?

Or the part where Washington spoke of his strong support of the importance of religion and morality in promoting private and public happiness and in promoting the political prosperity of the nation? Washington argues that religious principles promote the protection of property, reputation, and life that are the foundations of justice. Washington goes on to say that the nation’s morality cannot be maintained without religion and, since morality is necessary in popularly elected governments, religious principle is vital in maintaining the popularly elected government of the United States.

Truly, President Obama the divider is usurping the name of Washington the unifier.

Can’t wait to see what develops and hits the fan on January 9th. Somehow, there’s always something that further accentuates what a complete failure this traitor has been.

Or just skip the whole thing. Nobody cares what you think. We only care that you’re done.

Just leave.

that would be a good DFU parody song. A take off on the Faith Hill song Breathe. “Leave”

Hain’t this rube done said goodbye enough already?

But hey, maybe his ‘apology tour’ is not quite over yet - maybe he is going to apologize to America for all he did to hurt our country (not his country) in his unsuccessful attempt to ‘fundamentally transform America’ and perhaps acknowledge that Rush Limbaugh was correct - he failed.

One can hope!

Will he expound on the glorious success of Chicago’s strict gun control laws?
