The outgoing US President, Barack Obama gave his much awaited final speech today which brought an end to his 8 year at the top job of the country. As you might expect, the speech came at a time when the traditional media and social media covered the event in great detail, and as such, we can see various snippets of the hour long speech across platforms like Twitter and the full one on YouTube.

It was quite an emotional speech and people resonated a lot to it and decided to post their sentiments on Twitter, from celebrities to the regular folk alike. The trending hashtag for the occasion was Obama Farewell and here are some of the tweets.

Larry King, the famed interviewer said this

.@BarackObama's farewell address was inspirational. You served your nation well, Mr. President. Thank you @POTUS. #ObamaFarewell

— Larry King (@kingsthings) January 11, 2017

The Ellen Show

.@POTUS @BarackObama I love you more than I have space on Twitter to describe. #ObamaFarewell

— Ellen DeGeneres (@EllenDeGeneres) January 11, 2017

Tyler over here was quite emotional about the speech

— tyler oakley // schedule pinned (@tyleroakley) January 11, 2017

Marc Jacobs, the famous designer posted this photo of Obama wearing this

— Marc Jacobs (@marcjacobs) January 11, 2017

Neyo doesn’t want Obama to go

Magic Johnson praised his skills as a speaker.

.@POTUS @BarackObama without question is the greatest speaker and man that I know. #ObamaFarewell

— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) January 11, 2017

Others praised his track record

.@POTUS has led our country with grace and dignity. Economic turnaround, climate action, marriage equality, and so much more #ObamaFarewell

— Martin O'Malley (@MartinOMalley) January 11, 2017

Generally, people seemed to be proud of Obama

Barack Obama makes me intensely proud & honored to have lived in his time. #ObamaFarewell

— Banks Atkin 🇨🇩🇨🇦 (@BanksAtkin) January 11, 2017

This will only last for a few days

https://twitter.com/imWaavey/status/819023126403153920

I expected the Obama-dropping-a-mic gif here

Obama out.. 🎤 #ObamaFarewell pic.twitter.com/ftTE6Hc0Mk

— al•che•MEL•ist (@itsRamel) January 11, 2017

Others were lamenting over the ‘downgrade’ America will be experiencing in the next few days

https://twitter.com/imWaavey/status/819037881046073344

Well this person urged people to save that speech for eternity.

Welp. That was the last coherent Presidential speech y'all are going to get for 4-8 years. I hope you got it on DVR. #ObamaFarewell

— Ess (@ScottyLiterati) January 11, 2017

This guy saw the actual message of the speech

https://twitter.com/politicalmiller/status/819016187833184256

Billboard tweeted the classic Obama dropping a mic gif which is important for the moment

Obama out. #ObamaFarewell pic.twitter.com/9ifatQHVwz

— billboard (@billboard) January 11, 2017

Someone highlighted the irony of the moment between the succeeding and the preceding Presidents

Obama is trending bc of his eloquent, inspiring speech. #ObamaFarewell
Trump is trending bc he peed on Russian prostitutes. #GoldenShowers

— Laura 🌺 (@LauraE303B) January 11, 2017

To culminate the whole moment, this lady summarizes what Obama said at the end of his speech.

8 years ago, my husband and I cried as #Obama told us "Yes We Can." Tonight we cried because "Yes We Did". #ObamaFarewell #FarewellObama
