(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.

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).

Gonna need a drinking game. Whenever the Kenyon says I, me or my, I highly suggest water.

We'll probably drown, then.

Washington did not like to give speeches, and he would only read the ones he gave. If he had nothing to read, he would not speak.

Gonna be easy to figure out most of his speech.

I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me, I, me,

With an occasional “it’s Bush’s fault”.

When was the last time this grifter was in Chicago?
Has he evicted Harrison j. Bounel from his house there so he can move back in?

Note to CNN:

Never use the words Obama and George Washington in the same sentence.

Themes for the Boy King's final speech:

America: A community that Barry failed to organize....thank God.

Illinois Politics: How to seal your own record and unseal your opponent's records.

The Early Years: Axelrod's invention of AstroTurf.

Leading From Behind: ...when all you know how to do was to lead with your head up your behind.

How to get a great crease in your trousers, be able to toggle between 'clean and articulate' to 'black preacher bull-jive' speech patterns, and then rewrite the Constitution.

Someone unplug his teleprompter so he can go out the same way he came in ... stuttering, stammering, and generally making a fool of himself.

Surprised he didn’t jet off to his “home city” in Hawaii.

He has so many it’s hard to keep track.

“and to offer some thoughts on where we all go from here,” Obama wrote.

He talks like he’s still in control of our destination.

The Sandford Townsend Band had a hit song in the late ‘70’s called Smoke of a distant fire.

The background vocals fit our attitude about the soon to be former POTUS.

“Don’t let the screen door hit you, on your way out.”
