Obama State Of Union Speech Reflection

“ The Future we want ? Will only happen if we fix our politics…” During the State of Union speech Obama spoke on many of these topics such as raising minimum wage, expanding civil rights, ensuring prosperity and insurance for generation to come.This was a really good speech and very persuasive. While the speech was happening many notes were taken and i witnessed how almost half of the political part was clapping ( the democrats) and the other half ( the republicans) did not fully agree with Obama. In Obama's speech he says that his goal was to have a growing economy that works well in favor for everyone. That the role of the government should be to make sure that the system is not rigged by the wealthy individuals like monopolies. This part grabbed my attention since all we talk a lot about the monopolies in world history.
I agree that the government needs to keep the wealthy in check but i also feel that white wealthy individuals will always have an upper hand. Social darwinism will never truly go away and having a black president did not solve racial issues.On the other hand Obama planned on trying to make colleges more affordable by cutting the cost and having community colleges become free. I love how Obama gave attention to all age groups problems but his comforting words do not actually change anything. People who talk less and actually make a change are the best kind of people.The U.S have been having terrorist attacks since 9/11 and the Paris attack was the biggest recent attack since 9/11. In effect to the Paris attack Americans have been scared and fearing that there would be an attack near their location. Barack insured us many times that America has the strongest military and how U.S spends more money on the military than 8 nations combined. That is great in all but obviously that has not stopped Isis from attacking and continuing to attack America. Obama says that they have taken down Isis leaders and camps which gave America one less thing to worry about at night. Everyone is talking about Donald Trump even our presidents made some remarks towards this moron. “ If you look at the statistics, of people coming… if you look at the crime statistics on rape,, on crime, on everything… they’re mind-boggling.” These comments were towards immigrants on an interview on CNN. This statement that he tried to indicate was actually false occured to washington post stated “ data showed that new immigrants- including illegal immigrants- are actually less likely to commit crime, not more.
Immigrants make up America every one is an immigrant besides the Native americans in my eyes.The Natives were here first so therefore it is there tland. Obama disagreed with trying to divide immigrants not allowing them to come into America, Immigrants have been coming to america to fulfill their dreams. I am an immigrant who came here when i was five so that i could have a better life. Why on earth would America try to prevent anyone from having the American dream. Allowing refugees into America would be almost idiotic. We do not know what the refuges intentions are and trusting them would not be the best decisions. Obama's speech truly moved me and his plans for curing cancer, which in my opinion has already been discovered. All of these words said in Obama's speech will hopefully start taking action. “ I stand confident that the state of union is strong” says Obama. If Obama is confident then we should be too, right ? I don't think
so.
