The president reflected on his accomplishments and also touted the importance of democracy saying its threatened whenever we take it for granted. He encouraged americans to get involved and engaged and even run for office. And this tribute was written in lights on a chicago highrise there last night. The words thank you obama spelled out there. Get more now from david wright. Reporter in chicago a heros welcome for the 44th president , a favorite son of the windy city now on his last lap. Yes, our progress has been uneven. The work of democracy has always been hard. Its always been contentious. Sometimes its been bloody. Reporter chicago was the city that launched him. A freshman senator on the rise. His hair darker, his kids younger. Hello, chicago. Reporter hopes raised so high he was practically destined to disappoint. The audacity of hope confronting the gridlock of washington. In his kper inter exit interview with george stephanopoulos, obama insisted his legacy isnt all lost. My hope is that the president elect and members of the congress from both parties look at where have we objectively made progress where things are working better. Dont undo things just because i did them. Reporter a few things cant be taken away, first and foremost, just being americas first black history. President. He made history just by winning the election. The farther we get from his honeymoon, its easy to forget that. Obama himself acknowledged the racial divide still looms large. After my election there was talk of a post racial america. And such a vision, however well intended, was never realistic. Reporter another accomplishment, the history books are sure to include killing americas number one enemy. The critics would say you have to balance that against the fact that obama underestimated the threat posed by isis. His legacy judged by what he accomplished tends to be mixed. He fulfilled his Campaign Promise to turn the page from the bush years on American Foreign policy to stress diplomacy rather than war. He opened dialogues and turned the page with the arab world. Obama promised to end the wars in iraq and afghanistan and technically he did. But we still have troops on the ground in both countries. American drones have killed thousands of people by remote control. Guantanamo is still open for business. The middle east engulfed in conflict, and the prospect of peace between israel and palestine seems more remote than ever. Domestically, hes been a powerful voice when the nation mourned, channelling moral authority one mass shooting after another, after another. And yet, beyond the words, beyond that spiritual he clearly sang from the heart in charleston, what concrete measures can he point to that might reduce gun violence in the future . Other things he accomplished and influenced are under threat. His turn around on same sex marriage helped an lgbt struggle mainstream. And then theres obama care. The president couldnt help but get emotional with a special shoutout to the first lady. For the past 25 years you have not only been my wife and mother of my children, youve been my best friend. Reporter a poll shows hes going out on a high note. His highest Approval Rating in seven years, 55 as he gets set to retire. God bless you and may god bless the United States of america. Reporter change can be healthy. Obama proved that eight years ago. And reminded his supporters to keep an open mind. You believe in a fair and just and inclusive america. You know that constant change has been americas hallmark, that its not something to fear but something to embrace. You are willing to carry the hard work of democracy forward. Reporter soon enough well see if the new guy offers change for the better. For better or worse in our system already limits to what any one man can do. Obama proved that too. David wright in chicago. Nine more days until he leaves office. And as donald trump then prepares to take office the fbi is investigating some unsubstantiated allegations that his aides colluded to hack the democratic party. Documents turned over to the fbi allege russia has compromising personal information on donald trump including video of him with prostitutes. An attorney for trump accused of meeting in prague saying never been to prague in my life. Trump fired back tweeting fake news, a total political witch hunt. The allegations were presented to president obama and donald trump during Intelligence Briefings last week and during a hearing yesterday. Some members of congress pressed james comey about the claims and about the claims that republicans were also hacked. There were successful penetrations of some groups and campaigns, particularly the state level on the republican side of the aisle, and some limited penetration of Old Republican National Committee comey refused to answer specific questions about whether trump was personally compromised by the russians saying he couldnt discuss any investigations that might be underway.
