In the State of Union President Obama summed up the
challenges facing the country and his plans to meet them. This was the first
by-partisanship seating in the history of SOU. He appointed to the country's number one issue,
jobs. The
unemployment rate is still horrific and called for new
investments such as
clean energy and
education. Obama spoke about
innovation and how we has a country need to 'out build' the rest of the world. He claims;"to get behind this innovation and to help pay for it " he is asking congress to eliminate the billions in tax payer dollars we give to oil companies. It was very
humorous when he rhetorically asked "i don't know if you have noticed?.. But they are doing just FINE on their own".
Obama also threatened to
veto any bill set on his desk with ear marks inside.
Health care was defended by Obama, even tho it was repealed by republicans. He also spoke about a personal case who was now
hopeful for her children to have a good
future because she was become an
inspiration to them since she returned to pursue her education. One of my favorite part's of the speech is when he spoke about the United States soldiers, he said that there is a diversity of
race and different types of soldiers that serve us including
gay soldiers.
Obama said "Starting today their will be no American forbidden to serve the country because of who they love". Debt was talked about constantly, the government spends more then what they can take in. He talked about cutting down on allot of programs that would help for example, the secretary of defense has agreed to cut down on military spending that are not needed. Although he talked about
security and how we have put in efforts to forbid any extremist trying to hurt our homeland. He spoke about how we need to double the
export of goods we produce. President Obama's speech was in my opinion
encouraging to achieve a higher degree of
education. By showing innovation to raise standards of teaching and learning, he will replace no child left behind by race to the top. All in all Obama's speech targeted the
economy, and how business's need not only
consumers but
credit in order to create
jobs , to how America didn't vote for
gridlock, he asks a
reform to improve this nation, and lastly
sacrifices will need to be made to
improve the
future of the United States of America.
