Summary Includes the texts of the farewell speeches given by former president Obama and his wife Michelle to a crowd in Chicago in January of 2017.
President Barak Obama went back to his adopted hometown of Chicago to give his farewell address before a massive, cheering crowd that at times called out o tim, as he reviewed accomplishments he was proud of and got emotional when discussing his family and the need to press ahead on the goals America has yet to achieve. First Lady Michelle Obama took the occasion of her final speech as First Lady--a White House ceremony honoring a group of public school guidance councelors--to give her own emotional farewell, thanking her supporters and those of her husband, and addressing the accomplishments she was proudest of, and hoped would last. Both speeches were instant and motivating landmarks in presidential history, as well as stirring testaments to the character of this inspiring couple, and their time in the White House.
