Stunning! Simply stunning! That's what I can comment on Barack Obama's state of the union speech. He has never failed to deliver his message to his fellow Americans and to the rest of the world. And this time he did it again.
Just a week after his fellow Democrats lost to Senator-elect, Scott Brown in the Massachusetts special election, concerns are brewing that Obama is losing the support of Americans. Many are in doubts that he has succeed to fulfill his presidential campaign message, "Change, we can believe in". People are saying that he focused too much on the health-care overhaul and has neglected the United States economy recovery. Rumours are also flying around that there has been a cover up in the bail out of AIG last year. At this moment, everything seems so wrong for the first black American president.
But once President Obama is on stage, the gloomy Democrats camp turned rosy. Just like at his presidential campaign, the ever charismathic Obama has never failed to deliver. He managed to relate all the concerns and anxieties of struggling Americans in his speech. From banks in Wall Street to small business in Phoenix, Obama's able to pin point to the current challenges that the Americans face. For each and every challenge, he, Obama has came out with a plan which is very likely to be the solution of the problem. Simply marvellous!
To cut it short, here are the key points of President Barack Obama's speech:
1. Calling for a job bill: to create more jobs in the United States.
2. Stressing on the importance of the health care reform.
3. To cut the United States' budget deficit, by freezing government spending for 3 years, starting from 2011.
4. Appeal both Democrats and Republican to work together.
5. To slowly retreat from both Iraq and Afghanistan.
