By January 11, 2017 at 3:21 pm

People are still reacting to President Barack Obama’s farewell speech from last night and things are getting emotional. From tears of gratitude to tears of grief, here are some reactions to Obama’s farewell as he starts to leave the White House.

President Barack Obama gave his farewell speech last night and it turned into a tear-filled event as Americans bade farewell to their president of eight years.


It’s okay, buddy. We aren’t losing him forever, he just can’t be the president anymore.

There was some talk of the good times, like President Obama’s epic mic drop moment.


This will no doubt go down as one of the most iconic moments of his presidential legacy.

But not all of the tears shed were in grief. Some were just moved by their own gratitude.


? ? ✊

Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo thanked Obama for his tireless work that “moved America forward.”

People are taking Obama’s final message of unity to heart.


Because, as Obama once said, “There’s not a liberal America and a conservative America. There’s the United States of America.”

Celebs like Jaime Camil expressed how they will miss Obama in the coming years.


❤️ ❤️ ?

Gina Rodriguez shared the same emotion but also gave Obama some nice words.


Perhaps she can write him a letter of recommendation for his future job search.

Of course, it is Twitter, so people had to draw comparisons between President Obama and Donald Trump.


Dayum!

Some even took a shot at Obama’s own words about what is next for the country.


? ? ?

Clearly Jerry Springer couldn’t be left behind because, well, Jerry Springer.


Nobody does shade like Jerry Springer.

But Lin-Manuel Miranda summed up what so many Americans are thinking right now about President Barack Obama.


Thank you indeed.

At Least 17 Dead And Hundreds Injured Following Massive Protests Across Colombia

At Least 17 Dead And Hundreds Injured Following Massive Protests Across Colombia

A massive protest movement that swept across Colombia seems to have paid off – at least in the short term – as President Ivan Duque says that he will withdrawal the controversial tax plan that sent angry protesters into the streets. However, the protests claimed at least 17 victims who died during the unrest and hundreds more were injured.

Now that the president has withdrawn the controverial bill, many are wondering what’s next and will they have to take to the streets once again.

Massive protests claimed the lives of at least 17 people and hundreds more were injured across Colombia.

Unions and other groups kicked off marches on Wednesday to demand the government of President Ivan Duque withdraw a controversial tax plan that they say unfairly targets the most vulnerable Colombians.

Isolated vandalism, clashes between police and protesters and road blockades occurred in several cities on Saturday, and riot police were deployed in the capital.

Rights organization Human Rights Watch said it had received reports of possible police abuse in Cali, and local human rights groups alleged up to 17 deaths occurred.

After a week of protests, the government has shelved the controversial plan.

Faced with the unrest, the government of President Ivan Duque on Sunday ordered the proposal be withdrawn from Congress where it was being debated. In a televised statement, he said his government would work to produce new proposals and seek consensus with other parties and organizations.

President Duque, in his statement, acknowledged “it is a moment for the protection of the most vulnerable, an invitation to build and not to hate and destroy”.

“It is a moment for all of us to work together without paltriness,” he added. “A path of consensus, of clear perceptions. And it gives us the opportunity to say clearly that there will be no increase in VAT for goods and services.”

The tax reform had been heavily criticized for punishing the middle classes at a time of economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. The government introduced the bill on April 15 as a means of financing public spending. The aim was to generate $6.3 billion between 2022 and 2031 to reignite the fourth largest economy in Latin America.
