As the eight years of his presidency comes to an end next week, Barack Obama delivered his farewell speech Tuesday in Chicago.
The president appeared on stage just moments after his scheduled time of 9 p.m. ET at the McCormick Place convention center on Lake Michigan.
All the major networks carried the speech, which was also carried live on wh.gov/Farewell and on www.Facebook.com/WhiteHouse.
President Obama made remarks prior to the speech on the White House website.
