President Obama farewell address
The commander-in-chief has chosen to make his farewell address in the city where he launched his political career, Chicago.
Speaking to NBC News’ Lester Holt Tuesday aboard Air Force One, President Obama said he hoped he could properly convey the gratitude he felt, both for his staff and his supporters.
“You know when you when you reflect back on eight years, for all the highs and the lows, the one thing that is a constant is the incredible dedication of the people who got you there,” Obama said, adding that he meant everyone from his staff to “the people who, you know, would say that the work we did made a difference.”
“I think that that sense of gratitude that I feel for those folks, I just hope I’m able to express that,” he said.
