Obama, who will give the baton to the 70 year-old Donald Trump on January 20, accompanied by his wife Michelle Obama and Vice government's Joe Biden will deliver the closing speech from the convention center McCormick in downtown Chicago.

A few streets further away, at Grand Park, a huge public park, Obama he delivered his first speech after his victory in the November 5, 2008.
"It took a long time. But tonight, thanks to what we today and during these elections, at this historical moment, change has come, "the first black president had said in US history after the victory against the Republican candidate John McCain. "If anyone still deny that America is a place where everything is possible (;), the answer was given today," he added before tens of thousands of people gathered in the cold holding banners reading «Yes we can».

In Chicago, where the Obama family has a house, will play an important role in the life after the White House democratic president: there will house the presidential library and his foundation. Obama intends to remain for some years to come to Washington to finish high school there in his little daughter Sasha. But he does not stop to remind his ties to Chicago: "There I found a form of idealism, where I met my wife, there were born my kids," he says.
