But words always have a deeper meaning.
This past Monday, President Barack Obama gave a emotional and impacting speech. In this speech he touched upon many topics that were brought up before he was elected back into office such as immigration laws, gay rights, global warming, boosting up the economy, jobs, equality in social statuses,social security, medicare and other relating issues. He made some valid points, like if everyone strives to achieve this american dream then why can't everyone have an equal chance at doing it, love is love no matter what sex it is with, everyone Using his authoritative power, good language choice and powerful emphasis he argues that we, as a nation have to fix all our problems together and that we are all equal.
In his speech he uses this quote "No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people", to support his argument that we need to work together. "Towards the end of the speech he classified himself as a citizen ("You and I, as citizens") so instead of distinguishing him as a superior, we would recognize him as a equal so we would feel more connected with him, he is putting himself in our shoes. He acknowledges that some Americans are selfish and with this quote he brings down a feeling of equality upon the audience,"We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm."
Everything that Obama had said had a deeper meaning that just touched many people, he didn't use huge words that people couldn't comprehend, he kept it simple. Also he is just a great public speaker, he made me feel as if I was important, as if i was a big contribute to the society even though I'm only a mere college student. Even with my role as a college student I feel as if I have to help pave the way for generations that are forth coming, and hopefully they'll enter into a world, better than it already is.
