President Obama's Final State Of The Union

Climate change is the most serious issue humankind is facing in the 21th century. Future generations depend on our ability to make the necessary social changes, before reaching the tipping point of irreversibility, which will lead the planet into a catastrophe incompatible with life.

During the past several hundred years, civilization has made rapid progress in industries like air travel, automobiles, and energy production. These developments were made without consideration of the long-term effects that their emissions may have on the planet. Changing weather patterns are now wreaking havoc around the world, and scientists attribute this to human-caused climate change. During President Obama’s State of the Union address in 2015, he stated that, “No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change,” (“Remarks by the President”). Warming temperatures caused by anthropogenic climate change have disastrous consequences that pose a threat to humanity and the environment.

Beyond the emotional appeal to American greatness in solving technical problems, he presents compellingly logical and ethical arguments. He starts by calling out anyone who would ignore the threat of climate change, a blunt shot at many Republicans in Congress (26:11). The president adopts a nonchalant approach, essentially mocking anyone who isn't on board with climate science. "Look, if anybody still wants to dispute the science around climate change, have at it. You’ll be pretty lonely," Obama says. With tremendous confidence that his logical and ethical arguments cannot be countered, he attempts to win the day by overcoming any emotional

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.

President Obama gave his last State of the Union address on January 12th of this year. Like so many of his previous speeches, it was filled with soaring rhetoric and stressed values all Americans hold dear, not just Democrats, while also focusing on values that Democrats hold more dear than Republicans. Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina gave the Republican response and that speech, although critical of the President’s approach, echoed many of his values, while still emphasizing values that Republicans hold more dear than Democrats.

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

President Obama made clear that the budget for the country was the first thing mentioned when discussing finance and economics. Obama suggested that the budget was directly tied to the strength of the nation. The president spoke about the deficit reduction of over $2.5 trillion over the last few years.

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.

Within the Office of the Vice President, a White House Cancer Moonshot Task Force will be supplied an additional billion dollars of taxpayer’s money in the hope to cure cancer. With support from the president of the United States, this funding will go towards development and further research on a possible cure for cancer. Announced during Barack Obama’s 2016 State of the Union address, the president appointed Joe Biden the head of this government task force against the disease of cancer. Obama’s administration said a government health agency, the National Institute of Health, is already on track to spend over $195,000,000 on cancer-fighting efforts in 2016. In 2017, Obama’s presidential budget will request for $755,000,000 additional funding. The source for the remaining $50,000,000 for Obama’s billion-dollar goal was not been released to the general public yet.

The year 2014, President Obama presents the State of the Union, this is his 5th address to Congress. The State of the Union address, is an annual message to Congress in which the president reports on the state of the nation and outlines a legislative program every year. Throughout the speech he addresses major topics; foreign policy, unemployment and, etc. Obama calls 2014 is the “year of action”. Calling both parties to help make this a breakthrough year in the United States by bringing back more good jobs and expanding opportunities for the middle class. The overall performance of President Obama's speech is excellent, at the start he was inclusive, to include every possible demographic, mentioning major controversial topics, minimum wage, foreign policy, and he focuses on the future, doing what they can do to improve quality of the nation's future.

President Obama’s farewell address appealed to all of America, and that is why I thought it was so good. He mentioned all the main things that have been prominent during his terms as president such as health care, race relations, and the economy. He spoke to “not only the refugee or the immigrant or the rural poor or the transgender American, but also the middle-aged white guy who from the outside may seem like he’s got all the advantages, but has seen his world upended by economic, and cultural, and technological change.” The main point President Obama made about all Americans needing to come together stronger than ever before to make out democracy work I hope motivated people to focus on unity instead of the frustrations that caused divisions

“He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” On Tuesday, January 25, 2011 9:00 pm in the chamber of the House of Representatives Sergeant at Arms Wilson Livingood announced with great pride the arrival of the President of the United States. As President Obama worked his way to the podium members of Congress and distinguished guests greeted him with tremendous respect. Congress sat among each other commingled; consequently, it provided a healthier atmosphere in the chamber with less animosity. Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Vice President Joe Biden sat behind President Barack Obama as he

Global warming could be considered a contested topic, although I strongly agree with the facts presented by the scientific community about the ways in which humans affect the environment. Global warming will result in large scale melting of glaciers, extinction of plants and animals, and a rise in sea levels resulting in the loss of densely populated, low lying coastal areas. Additionally, tropical diseases and the frequency of severe weather will increase. The brunt of these disasters will fall disproportionately on the world’s poor, many of whom live in the tropics, where the effects of climate change are expected to be particularly severe (Nanda 320). The United States can take measures to
