President Obama's Legacy And Farewell (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

President Obama bids farewell. We’ll weigh his message from Chicago and his years in the White House.

American presidents say farewell, and last night it was Barack Obama’s turn. It was not the speech he might have given if Hillary Clinton had won. Back in Chicago, site of his triumph eight years ago, President Obama essentially called for the defense of democracy against the politics of president-elect Donald Trump. Not by name, but by trait. And called on the American people to defend the American constitution. This hour On Point, sizing up President Obama and his Chicago farewell. — Tom Ashbrook
