Thanks for the link and the beautiful picture. 
I only caught about the last third or so of the live stream.
Apologies..
I first heard of this speech on CNN Money channel between stock market talk..
Even THEY showed a clip of the last part where he addresses "democracy's & strongarm politics."
They even mentioned that " Pres Obama didn't have to name Trump or Putin, to know who he was referring to".
Applause 
This speech watched worldwide, just for a moment restored some dignity back to our America.
We miss our President Obama.
