In the final hours of his presidency, President Barack Obama sent a series of tweets from his @POTUS account, thanking the American public and asking for comments on his new website.
It's been the honor of my life to serve you. You made me a better leader and a better man.

I won't stop; I'll be right there with you as a citizen, inspired by your voices of truth and justice, good humor, and love.
— President Obama (@POTUS) January 20, 2017
As we look forward, I want our first steps to reflect what matters most to you. Share your thoughts with me at https://t.co/fGUxlpLVue.

I'm still asking you to believe - not in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. I believe in change because I believe in you.

In a video posted on Obama.org, Obama and first lady Michelle Obama discussed their plans for the future.
“We’re going to take a little break. We’re finally going to get some sleep and take some time to be with our family and just be still a little bit,” Michelle Obama said. “So we might not be online quite as much as you’re used to seeing us.”
The Obamas solicited input from their future presidential center, which will be housed on the southside of Chicago.
“It will be a living, working center for citizenship,” Barack Obama said. “Tell us what you want this project to be and tell us what’s on your mind.”
Said Michelle Obama: “This will be your presidential center, jsut as much as it is ours.”
President-elect Donald Trump will take office officially around noon Friday. The Obamas will travel to Palm Springs, Calif., after Friday’s inauguration.
