My fellow Americans
It has been the honor of my life to serve you
President Obama made his farewell speech last night as America's commander-in-chief
And we have the highlights and slowly reactions
Obama's final speech was one for the history books
 he advocated for acceptance
he inspired and made us all
boohoo cry
The 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama
addressed the nation for the final time last night from his hometown of Chicago
and captivated those watching with poise, 
eloquence and sincerity.
He spoke about the many hopes he has for the nation going forward stressing that
we need to uphold laws against discrimination
and noted that laws alone won't be enough. 
Hearts must change.
That's why I reject discrimination
against Muslim Americans
Who are distant patriotic as we are?
He also addressed the fact that people are often quick to criticize
and lash out at others when protected by the
anonymity of their computer screens.
If you're tired of arguing with strangers on the internet
Try talking with one of them in real life
And knowing that many Americans are not necessarily hopeful about the upcoming direction of the country
Obama inspires all to not sit back and sulk
But instead said quote: "If you're disappointed with your elected officials grab a clipboard
and get some signatures and run for office yourself.
Show up, dive in, stay at it
He also came with receipts of all the progress that has been made over the past eight years,
knowing that the recession was reversed, America's auto industry was rebooted,
the longest stretch of job creation in history was unleashed
A new chapter was opened up with the cuban people
Iran's Nuclear weapons program was shot down,
the mastermind behind
9/11 was extinguished,
the right to health insurance was secured for Millions
The unemployment rate is at a ten-year low and marriage equality became a reality
but one of the most moving moments of the president's speech was when he spoke directly to his wife
who you know he has flooded
you took on a role
you didn't ask for and
you made it your own
with grace and with grit and the style and
human
We made the White House a place that belongs to everybody
And a new generation sets its sights higher because it has you as a role model
He then thanked his daughters saying quote of
all that I have done in my life
I am most proud to be your dad.
Then it was his BFF turn VP
Joe Biden who Obama honored saying quote
you were the first decision
I made as a nominee, and it was the best not only because you've been a great vice president
but because in the bargain, I gained a brother
And we love you and Jill like family and your friendship has been one of the great joys of our lives
Needless to say everyone was a puddle of tears
and took to Twitter to weigh in with the hashtag Farewell Obama
Niall Horan tweeted: "Don't get me started, but I'm going to miss the Obamas, the nicest family on Earth."
Zedd said: "Obama you're going to be missed."

you won't hear anything so cogent and kind for a long time.
So, with complete sincerity: Thanks, Obama."
Gina Rodriguez quoted Obama saying: "Yes, we can yes, we did."
And if you scroll down instagram last night odds
Are you were flooded with photos of Obama with people sharing their parting words.
Katy Perry shared a photo pose with the president and her grandmother saying quote:
"Thank you for your incredible grace in leadership and for being an
exceptional example for us all. 
You've made many who were sleeping conscious
including myself.
I agree with you
We need to burst our bubbles and build real community again face to face.
I'm excited to see the generation coming up who as you
said are unselfish, altruistic, creative, patriotic
and believe in a fair just inclusive America.
I cannot wait to see good triumph."
Miley Cyrus said: "Thank you Barack Obama.
We love you so much, miss you already."
As for us Obama said that he has high hopes for the youth generation saying quote:
"You believe in a fair and just and inclusive America."
And with that being said he closed with: "I'm asking you to believe not
in my ability to bring about change 
but in yours.
Yes, we can. Yes, we did. Yes,we can."
I bawled like a baby
Thanks, Obama you will be missed. 
Also side note in case you were wondering
