The President of the United States Barack Obama returned to his hometown to give his presidential farewell speech last night. The speech focussed on giving the people of the United States hope and change, the two things that got Obama elected in the first place.

Obama thanked his wife, First Lady, Michelle Obama, his voice catching with emotion for her continuous support and this made him tear up. The tears on stage from the first family on this emotional night echoed with thousands of US citizens who are fearful and deeply concerned due to the incoming Trump government.

Vice President Joe Biden also teared up after Obama addressed him during the speech. This is what he said, “I’ve gained a brother…your friendship has been one of the great joys of our life.”
