Obama’s Farewell Address Will Have You Ugly Crying

Our hearts are heavy today at the World of Wonder offices: the greatest President (we will ever have) and living legend Barack Obama addressed the nation last night for the last time (are your tear ducts already started to act up?!) in Chicago for his farewell speech and if you think you won’t cry (wait til he thanks Michelle and their daughters). He offers optimism and a plea to “stay vigilant, but not afraid.”

Watch his greatness and see some highlights below:

“It falls to each of us to be those anxious, jealous guardians of our democracy,” the President said. “To embrace the joyous task we’ve been given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.”

“Democracy does not require uniformity,” Obama said. “Our founders quarreled and compromised, and expected us to do the same. But they knew that democracy does require a basic sense of solidarity — the idea that for all our outward differences, we are all in this together; that we rise or fall as one.”

“Democracy can buckle when we give in to fear,” he said. “So just as we, as citizens, must remain vigilant against external aggression, we must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are.”
