Obama’s main point throughout his speech was that soon change will come, sound familiar? In the beginning of Obama’s speech I thought he started off very strong about how America has been facing their problems since their independence, and that they have always gotten through them and eventually triumphed. He also stated how America has been continuously tested when they are down, and it has never stopped them from being a successful country. Like Obama’s election he preached that he would bring change to America, and help fix the problems that the past President brought upon America. When he did this during the election, I had full confidence in Obama, as many others in America did, that Obama would become America’s “savior.” And here we are today, and Obama is saying the same things, “soon change will come.” I think that the people of America are tired of waiting for this change, and need action. This relates to “Civil Disobedience” because in “Civil Disobedience,” Thoreau talks about if there is a problem, then people should act, however Obama is not acting upon these problems. One of the things that I did like about Obama’s speech was that he addressed how political parties focus more on bashing one another than trying to work together to try to fix their problems. After seeing so many ad campaigns for different political positions, I have noticed that they are all the same, just one politician saying that his opponent is bad, and that he is better. These campaigns should be about how they will help benefit America, not how they are better than their opponent. Near the end of Obama’s speech he showed a lot of energy and motivation for America to succeed. Even though I feel that Obama has not done too much in his first year in office, he is still our president, so I am rooting for him in his goal for change, and to help fix America’s problems.
Sincerely,
The Chosen One
