WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush will deliver a televised farewell address to the American people on Thursday night, the White House said.

Bush, who leaves office on Jan. 20 when Barack Obama is sworn in, will give a 10-15 minute speech in front of an audience in the East Room of the White House, press secretary Dana Perino said Monday.

It will be Bush's last scheduled public event before he steps down, and comes as he tries to burnish a presidential legacy marked by the unpopular war in Iraq and the worst financial crisis in nearly 80 years.

"This is not going to be a swan song to the president's administration, although he will defend his record, but it will be very gracious to President-elect Obama," Perino said.
