President Obama to offer 'admonitions' in farewell address

By John King, CNN Chief National Correspondent

'Inside Politics' forecast: Obama's farewell

Washington (CNN)President Obama's farewell speech. President-elect Trump's strategy on government inaction. And Team Trump's influence over state party organizations.

It's all a part of this week's "Inside Politics" forecast, where you get tomorrow's headlines today.

1) Obama's 'admonitions'

President Obama will bid the nation goodbye Tuesday night in his last big speech before yielding the spotlight to the Trump inauguration hoopla.

You can be sure the President will offer another defense of his signature health care law and make the case that his administration put the economy back on solid footing after inheriting the 2008 financial crisis.

The buzzy part, though, is likely to be what one Obama loyalist called a series of "admonitions about the challenges we face moving forward."

Those admonitions will likely be squarely aimed at President-elect Donald Trump, and may include calls to celebrate America's diversity, to be more respectful of critics and, as the loyalist put it, "to strengthen and embrace our democracy."

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

I'll be watching Baylor (hopefully) lose to West Virginia, which would leave Gonzaga as the last undefeated team in men's basketball. Big 12, ACC and American conferences are beastly this year, Big 10 not so much.

Gonzaga played a "secret scrimmage" with Baylor before the start of the season, ESPN insiders said it was a tie. I'd love to see a home and home with a Texas school. As a rule, we attend games within a day's drive of Irving. Christmas came early for me, my two sons and grandson joined me for a trip to Nashville for the Gonzaga-Tennessee game. Those boys won't be able to understand how special that was for me until they're fathers in their own right.

Apologies for the hijack.

I would love to say, "Don't go away angry, but do go away."  But frankly, I don't give a rat's @$$ if 0bama does go away angry.

I won't be watching.  I haven't watched a single speech of Bammy's in the past 8 years and I don't see this upcoming speech any less detrimental to my health.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
