this is the last press conference mr obama will be holding. he's had eight years in office. he's talked about how he has reshaped america, how he has hope he is reshaped america. what do you think will be his lasting legacy? that's a big question. in 90 seconds, that would be great. listen, he's always going to be remembered even though he perhaps didn't want to be, as america's first black president, it's part of his biography. he will go down as the person who stopped america falling off the financial cliff in 2008. proving a negative. but things could have been a lot worse than they were. he spoke out consistently in favour, as he did today, of gay rights and minority rights. you can quibble with how much he has done on those issues, and there have been feeling failings. obamacare is not particularly popular, he didn't get faron gun particularly popular, he didn't get far on gun control. he leaves office with a 58% approval rating, not bad for two term president in a very divided country. i think americans will look back with respect for president obama and his time in of

mrs. obama's mother lives up on the third floor area. those areas are private and they are used the way the family wishes to. >> this is the transition process we are in leading up to january 20th. what's going on in the white house if anything? >> well, fwht white house, the first thing that is going on is christmas holidays. with all the activities going off and have just ended with the president leaving to go to hawaii but in the evening there are tours for the candle light towers for the public. they go on. so up until through the month of december, the actual activity to the white house are traditional activity of december when the president returns there will be some degree of thank yous as there have been for each president, thank you for the people that helped them during previous four or eight years and then also on inaugural day there will be the activities that i stated before with the presidential parade. and immediately after inaugural day the incoming president will probably do receptions or dinners or whatever they decide

mr. obama is expected to be photographed -- he left the oval office for the last time this morning. reporters asked if he was feeling nostalgic and he said of course. he and former first lady michelle obama received a warm sendoff from joint base andrews. they smiled and waved as they boarded the plane headed for palm springs. the obamas will then return to washington and that's where they will live for a while, while their youngest daughter finishes school. the presidential aircraft is expected to touch down in palm springs any minute now. you can see it's raining there as well. the former president and first lady are there for well deserved rest and relaxation. earlier mr. obama told reporters he plans to get lots of sleep his first few days out of office. >>> former vice president joe biden and his wife, jill biden, received a triumphant welcome when they arrived in wimgtlming, delaware. he arrived the same way he did as a senator, by riding amtrak. >>> former president bill clinton and former secretary of state hillary clinton attended today's inauguration. they joined former pr

who is going to pay for the wall mr. obama? lou: he doesn't pay for much himself, we know that. >> to a serious point astonishing remarks from obama that the wall becoming prison. it really made me think back to the communist regime in hungary where my parents built walls to keep their people in and stop them from leaving. that really is a prison but here the problem is people not leaving america but wanting to come to america. it's exactly the opposite. he is precisely wrong and how he characterized it. lou: is precisely wrong and not embarrassed to admit that he distorts reality and does so in service sector really stupid position that he has championed for a long time that the open borders are just fine and have no effect on our society or damage to our economy. you know, it is really remarkable to me to see the president-elect going to twitter and asserting his views on national intelligence of which he is highly suspicious and skeptical and the left-wing media and frankly part of the mainstream media, the right-wing media
