3 things you need to know
OBAMA TO DELIVER
FAREWELL ADDRESS IN
CHICAGO ON JAN. 10
1
P resident Barack Obama will deliver a farewell address on Jan. 10 to
refl ect on his time in offi ce and say thank you to his supporters, he
said in an email statement released on Monday. Obama, noting that
the fi rst 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 off er some thoughts on where
we all go from here,” he said. Republican Donald Trump will be sworn
in to offi ce on Jan. 20. During his campaign for the White House, Trump
pledged to undo many of Obama’s signature policy measures, including
his health-care law. Obama, who campaigned hard for Trump’s Democratic
opponent Hillary Clinton, has sought to ensure a
smooth transition of power despite major policy
diff erences with his successor. He also leaves
his party without a clear fi gurehead as he
leaves the White House. “Since 2009, we’ve
faced our fair share of challenges, and come
through them stronger,” Obama said in the
email, likely foreshadowing a theme for his
speech. “That’s because we have never let
go of a belief that has guided us ever since our
founding — our conviction that, together,
we can change this country for the
better.” R EUTERS GETTY IMAGES
