Two days before Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, outgoing President Barack Obama will take questions from the press from the White House briefing room for the last time.

Finishing up eight years in the White House, Obama leaves office with one of the highest approval ratings in modern history.

The outgoing president is expected to address his legacy as well as his controversial decision to commute Chelsea Manning’s prison sentence.

The press conference is scheduled to begin at 2:15 p.m. ET. Watch the video below via YouTube:

1. Thanks for the alert!

As much as I hate these "lasts", I don't want to miss this one.

2. Kick

3. Could be the last one in a while.

I doubt we'll get much more than self-glorifying, Idi Amin-style events from the incoming president.

4. Grace, brains, dignity, compassion

I'm dreading the 20th. I had to stop, I can't sit here at work balling.

Peace

6. Wow. What an incredible man

If only I had 1/100th of his grace. The difference is so stark between him and anus-mouth. Oops, see there ... I have no grace at all.

Love him and miss him already.

8. What a wonderful, thoughtful and compassionate POTUS!!

I am so unhappy to see him leave office. If only the incoming oaf had as much common sense and human decency....
