It’s been the privilege of my life to serve as your President. I look forward to standing with you as a citizen. Happy New Year everybody.

And all of these accomplishments are only the beginning. President Obama has truly been a transformative leader, who will be leaving the country in far better shape by nearly every metric — economically and environmentally, with stronger global relationships and fuller recognition of equality for all citizens — than it was when he first took the oath of office.
We have been fortunate to have him as our President, and we will miss him dearly.
