Last night (1/29/14) President Obama delivered his 5th State of the Union speech. Throughout his speech I felt a good sense of unity in his words and his voice, he was really trying to hit home the idea of the American people as one coupled with a strong sense of entrepreneurship. Overall, Obama, in my opinion, was trying to hit home the idea that the American people need to unite as one and fight for the overall well being of our future.
In class, along with out at home reading, we discussed the millennial generation and the ups and downs that go with it. To me these articles connected rather well with Obama's State of the Union Speech as he indirectly said they we are the focus of the future. By focusing on education, military women and men coming home, and entrepreneurship he showed that he is focused on making this country better and stronger on an economic level. This so called lazy generation was exactly who he was talking about when he said he wanted to better education and increase jobs in the job hungry economy we live in. Once the country, President Obama included, realizes that our generation is capable of working and fixing the problems of the past and present, will the misnomer of the millennial generation go away and our prosperous country will thrive.
Nice work connecting the State of the Union to our class readings. You make some good points! The country needs to have confidence in the millennial generation!
