“Michelle Obama in final speech”
2
Washington D.C. (White House) -Michelle Obama gave her final White House remarks in an emotional speech Friday, thanking her supporters and saying, "being your first lady has been the greatest honor of my life and I hope I've made you proud.” "I want our young people to know that they matter, that they belong," Obama said, her voice breaking several times near the end of her remarks. "So don't be afraid. You hear me, young people? Don't be afraid. Be focused. Be determined. Be hopeful. Be empowered. Empower yourself with a good education. Then get out there and use that education to build a country worthy of you boundless promise. Lead by example with hope; never fear.” In her time at the White House, Obama has championed education, fitness, and military families, often using the East Room or the South Lawn to speak out on her chosen topics. As she leaves the White House, the first lady describes what she'll miss, but also tells us "it's time."

In Other News American malls just got emptier. The Limited, a once-popular women's clothing brand that offers casual attire and workwear, no longer has any storefronts. The Limited is among a long list of brick-and-mortar retailers that once thrived in malls and strip shopping centers -- but are now suffering at the hands of digital commerce giants like Amazon and fast fashion stores such as H&M and Forever 21. Macy's also brought bad news to mall shoppers. On Wednesday, the company said it's shutting down another 68 of its U.S. storefronts. McDonald's is selling off most of its China business in a deal worth as much as $2.1 billion. Citic, a massive Chinese financial firm, is taking the majority stake in McDonald's operations in mainland China and Hong Kong. McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook said the fast food company's new partners would bring a better understanding of the Chinese market. The deal is the latest move in Easterbrook's efforts to overhaul the global burger chain. In the U.S., it has launched more customized sandwiches with fancier ingredients, introduced all-day breakfast to the menu and brought in touch screens and table service.
