State of Union
In the State of Union President Obama started off talking about the shooting of Tuscan. The government is going to be one, not separate like we are known know as republicans and democratics. I feel like this is a great idea, that way the great decisions from both sides will come into effect not just one side. Obama's main points on his speech were the Democrats and Republicans converging, education, and jobs. His goal is to send more kids to college and receive an education, mostly because of all the baby boomers retiring. He wants to replace No Child Left Behind. I believe this is a good plan because many students and teachers did not like that during high school. More Americans need to be put to work. At one point Obama made a goal by 2035 to have all energy come from clean sources. He also talked about the war. In July his plan is to have all troops home and he believes the war is coming to the end. I hope this comes true, but sadly I do not believe it. He also mentions that gays can serve in the army now. That is a HUGE change.
My opinion on the State of the Union is that it was not as boring as I thought it would be. Obama repeated himself a lot, which made me mad. I also get annoyed by all the clapping and interrupting the President. I feel its rude!
Republican Response:
The rhetoric of both speeches are different. In this Republican Response, the representative is more calm and easy going. The president was more forceful and loud. I don't think they work together because once the response comes on, people are tired of listening so with a calm talker, it would be easier to not pay attention. All I got out of this speech is the heath care.
