State of the Union Calls for Common Resolve

On Tuesday night, President Barack Obama addressed the nation in an exciting performance about his course of action to prepare Americans for the work ahead.

He put forth convictions to address the stalemate of the Congress in adopting new sanctions, waved the notion that America is a floundering nation and endeavored to progress a unity that will usher in a productive movement towards global supremacy.

A significant portion of his speech was devoted to developing the American economy through cutting the national deficit by more than $2 trillion.

“No challenge is more urgent. No debate is more important,” emphasized Obama. “We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by, or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.”

In times of decline and despair, President Obama invoked the symbolic potential of both our parties working as a team by alluding to the Republican Abraham Lincoln as an offering of truce to a party he admittedly admires.

There was discussion concerning concrete plans to implement solutions to system difficulties, such as education and immigration, as well as fundamental dialogue about the global trials and tribulations, but also alliances, that we will be willing to see our way through. One example was the figurative fig branch he extended to Iran if they were willing to compromise on their WMD agenda.

A specific note President Obama hit on occasion was that if Congress could get legitimate bills sent to his desk, he would sign them. This roused approval from the congregation, who seems to seek the same thing from their President.

“As long as I’m president, I will work with anyone in this chamber to build on this momentum,” promised Obama. “But I intend to fight obstruction with action, and I will oppose any effort to return to the very same policies that brought on this economic crisis in the first place.”

The address ended on a positive note, ringing with hope and determination for a strong year ahead.

“As long as we’re joined in common purpose, as long as we maintain our common resolve, our journey moves forward, and our future is hopeful, and the state of our union will always be strong.”
