U.S. President Barack Obama will deliver his farewell address to Americans today, in Chicago, ten days ahead of the handover to Donald Trump, a man he has described as polar opposite. Obama’s speech will be a parting shot “to say thank you” to Americans “and to offer some thoughts on where we all go from here”.

Souza shared a photo of Obama signing end-of-year bills Friday while a snowman ominously looks in from the window behind him. A second photo shows Obama jokingly reacting to a window-peeping snowman.
