Celebrities React to Barack Obama's Final Speech as President of the United States

Hollywood will miss you

Tonight, President Barack Obama said farewell to the nation as Commander-in-Chief. On January 20, Donald Trump will swear an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States as President.

Following Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes speech heard around the world, Hollywood’s A-Listers are responding to Obama’s historic speech. Oh, and we’re sure Donald Trump will share his thoughts soon.

First time I met the incredible President Barack Obama, we bonded over our Chi Town roots. He said “You’re from Chicago?” Evidence shows, I screamed “Hell YEAH”. You served us well Mr. President. #farewell (mean comments go somewhere with your hate, you will be blocked, don’t steal my joy)
