'She was the hardest sell, and she never fully embraced being in the public spotlight, which is ironic given how good she is.
His days as president are rapidly shrinking, as the inauguration of President Elect Donald Trump approaches on January 20.
Speaking
about his daughters, Sasha and Malia, he said they have grown tired of
the constraints of Secret Service and 'all that stuff' now that they
have gotten older.
However, the President added that he and Michelle both recognize that they have a lot of memories in the White House.
He said: 'Our kids grew up here. Some of
our best friends have been made here in this place. There have been
moments that were highlights for us that are going to be hard to
duplicate.'
The President also told the
story of how the First Lady has said to their friends that her husband
is the kind of guy she wants to be the President, but she wishes he
didn't want to do it while they are married.
Obama gave his farewell speech to a
passionate crowd in Chicago on Tuesday, January 10, speaking about his
time in the office and all that he accomplished as president.
It
was his final address while in office, and he told his supporters: 'you
were the change' and encouraged them to continue standing up for their
values after his departure.
'Yes We
Can. Yes We Did. Yes We Can,' Obama said, a reference to his 2008 slogan
and a nod to the future progress he expects backers of his brand of
politics to make.
He never mentioned
his successor by name on Tuesday evening but made multiple references to
President-elect Donald Trump, declaring to loud clapping and cheers
'that science and reason matter' and he rejects 'discrimination against
Muslim Americans.'
We will miss you sir.
