(297,289 posts)"Curiously, there is actually no real tradition of a farewell speech for American Presidents. The fact is that by the end of their terms, most Presidents have long since outstayed their welcome, their popularity dissipated. Think about the fact that there has only been one time since 1950 that a President was succeeded through the electoral process by a member of his own party. So it stands to reason that despised and rejected lame duck presidents are not terribly interested in making a big speech, and darn few people would bother to listen if they did."

Do something.
Thats not me talking. In 52 minutes last night, that is what your President warned that you must do.
Or we will have no one to blame but ourselves.
