President Obama Speech : President Of The United States

In Barack Obama’s speech, “A More Perfect Union,” Obama made an effort to educate the American people on the history and importance of race in America. He explained how our nations founding fathers developed our Constitution based on the idea that all men are created equal, without actually practicing this idea themselves. He used the words of the Constitution to discuss the current racial issues and to state his concern of our imperfect nation. This was all in response to the very controversial remarks Barack Obama’s pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright had previously stated, which created much unease among Americans. Obama felt the need to address our nation about this specific problem, since he identifies as a black man himself, and offer a solution to end this built up anger and discrimination between the American people. In his speech, “A More Perfect Union,” Obama is able to clearly convey the specific racial problem at hand that created the exigency for this speech, as well as effectively share his own personal connection with this issue, in order to help fix our country and work together to find a beneficial solution.

In his speech, President Obama acknowledges that America must strive to increase its own economic standing (House). The President claims that America is already making strides towards creating a strong economic influence, claiming that business leaders now say America is the best place to invest in the world .The first thing the President argues for in order to build our economic standing further is to create energy independence, whether through the development of domestic natural gasses or more importantly the development of green energy such as solar power. The second thing that America must do is to reform the tax code to close loopholes in order to incentivize corporations to hire Americans instead of outsourcing. He also acknowledges that immigration allows for new people to have the opportunity to study in our educational system, become entrepreneurs and inventers, and to contribute in numerous ways to the American

In specific, President Obama sought to assert his commitment in supporting economic recovery as well as growing the middle class in the United States. It follows the adverse economic conditions and thus, president Obama promised to offer liberation for the American families. Still, President Obama also used the speech to emphasize on his policies going forward including his foreign policy which

Here i am going to list every Thought that went through my mind while watching this Biased Video

On November 20, 2014, Former President of United States of America, Barack Obama gave a speech on immigration at the White House. This topic concerned ample families in the United States of America, as a lot of them are not legally residing in the states and the other families who are citizens and documented are threatened by the increasing number of illegal immigrants because they might become their competition in employment, education and business opportunities. Barack Obama Addressed these concerns in a unique perception that enlightened the audience and gave examples and ideas that led them to view this problem under a different light that isn’t necessarily negative. The president’s connection with the audience was not only logical and

President Obama seems to be a contemporary master of Rhetoric, captivating multiple audiences at once while seamlessly following Cicero’s six parts of speech, but to what effect? In 2013 it was imperative that President Obama connected to multiple facets of people. We saw the beginning of a divided America during this time. Today, we only see this country more polarized. It is nearly impossible to get every family member to agree on a political topic, let alone a whole country. In that regard President Obama’s mission look insurmountable. Though, through the organic weaving of his audiences he attempts to accomplish to impossible. Throughout his speech broadcasted to the American public regarding 2013’s Syrian Civil War, President Obama

The president's State of the Union address, delivered annually, is an opportunity to reflect on the nation's accomplishments across the previous twelve months and its goals in the year ahead. When the address delivered following the confirmation of the president's second term, it is an even more significant opportunity to set a course for the term ahead. In the address delivered by President Obama on February 12 before a Joint Congress, the course that he set forth would be distinguished by its progressive nature and the president's new sense of a public mandate.

Truthfully, there are a lot of significant Economic issues that were addressed in President Obama’s State of the Union Speech. Obama had many successes in the past year, including: the strongest production of jobs in fifteen years, drivers saving an expected hundred dollars because gasoline prices were extremely low, and the unemployment rate plummeting to a miniscule 5.6%. However, the wages of middle-class Americans remain unchanging. President Obama plans to fix this issue, using what he referred to as “Middle-Class Economics”. What is the idea of Middle-Class Economics? According to our forty-fourth president, Middle-Class Economics is defined as “the idea that this country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, everyone does

The current event I choose for this assingment is The State of the Union Address delivered by President Barack Obama at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on January 28 2014. The State of the Union address is the Presidents annual speech to Congress and the nation; it’s an opportunity for the President to set the legislative agenda, launch proposals and directing public attention to his goals for the future. Eventhough the speech is delivered before Congress, it is mainly regarding the public. It's a chance for the President to highlight the progress America has made for the past few years, as well as outline new ideas and changes he hopes to make with the help of congress and support from the public. In addition, it’s hope that the State of the Union Address promotes unity among both parties in congress and win support for his legislative agenda from the public.

In Barack Obama’s speech, “A More Perfect Union”, he addresses the remarks of his pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Obama was heavily criticised for what Wright had said in his sermon. Obama's purpose for his speech was not only to address his pastors outburst, but also to speak about racial relations and the intricacies revolving around race. He accomplishes this through means of dynamic diction, the use of we instead of I, and by establishing his own credibility as well as Wright's.

Despite making history as the first African-American to be nominated for the presidency by a major party, let alone be elected as president, Obama did not emphasize his race, as many black politicians had in order to appeal to areas of white majority. He did, however, address race and civil rights—although not directly—through the comprehensive theme of unity, recognizing the shared goals and dreams of all Americans regardless of one's differences to another. The collective aspiration of solidarity was felt as Obama gave his First Inaugural Address; his application of references to the founders and influential leaders of America, history, biblical scripture, and its relevance to today—including a statement acknowledging all religions, instead

Barack Obama at the town hall meeting of the 2008 presidential campaign, as reported CBS news, said, “I don 't speak a foreign language. It 's embarrassing!” His statement was an emphatic response to the English hegemony faced by the U.S. immigrants. They should be confident to have a language ability other than English, despite the fact they have been struggling to learn English. In making this comment, Obama urged us to learn a foreign language other than our native tongue because being bilingual is better than monolingual. It was also a critique of the initiative of the “English Only” movement which intensively advocates for making English as the official language of the United States. Therefore, I agree that Americans should work together to foster a language pluralism and to challenge any endeavors to make English-only as the official language.

The second inauguration speech of Barack Obama marked the beginning of his second term as United States’ 44th President. The ceremony took place on January 21, 2013 at the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Upon the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation Obama’s inauguration theme was "Faith in America's Future". Also the fact that Obama's inauguration is taking place on Martin Luther King Day, a federal public holiday to celebrate the birth of the civil rights leader, carries great symbolic resonance. The notion that America might vote in a black president now seems little more than a banal fact of life. But while this inauguration holds none of the historical significance of his first, the coincidence

First of all, you have no idea how people voted. I voted for Obama for the Hope and Change that I thought was so desperately needed after Bush. Well, that was a loss because Mr. Obama has taken what was bad and made it worse. Plus, many people voted for Obama only because he was black so stop with the bullshit racist reasons of why you think people hate his policies. Obama has divided our country by sex, by race, by gender, by race, by religious beliefs, by RACE! The fact that there are plenty of black police, judges, politicians, doctors, lawyers, professors, etc shows the country has not tried to keep the black person down. You wanna keep talking about race? Fine! Not only that, but Obama DIVIDED this country by race. How he pulled the race card when that Micheal Brown thug got shot by a police officer when he tried to steal his gun. He slandered police officers saying they are being predatory against blacks. But yet I still see black thugs breaking the law and being shot because they still try to put up a fight with police officers. What about those riots? The BLM (which is a racist and domestic

Capitalism and affluence are a key component to the American government, some of Obama’s notable accomplishments mentioned in his speech are reversing the great recession, rebooting the auto industry, and creating jobs. In America, we live the dream of economic freedom, where anyone is able to move up in our country, however those with affluence in the top 1% have the most power. Obama notes that those with affluence are finally paying their fair share in taxes, leveling the playing field for others. In theory, giving others upward mobility.
