Obama's Farewell Address

In case you missed it last night, here is the President's farewell address, in its entirety. The New York Times has the complete transcript.


I did not live-tweet the whole thing, but here are a few thoughts I shared during the event.

President Obama takes the stage in Chicago to thunderous applause. Sob.

Every single thing that Obama is saying that's good about America is a thing Trump wants to destroy.

Obama's speech is full of facts and hard realities. Remember this moment when facts and reality still mattered to a U.S. president.

"And chauvinism." Obama gives a cool shout-out to the President-elect.

Thanks, Obama.

No, really. Thank you.

If you need a happy thought, just think about what a pathetic little turd who will never measure up Trump feels like after watching that.
