President Obama initiates his keynote address with a topic of similarity. The well sought after American dream is the foundation of his lineage. His grandfather on his father’s side, a Kenyan house cook, sent his son forward to the land of promise and prosperity. Gaining an education in the United States. Its here where his father met his mother, the daughter of an oil rig worker. His statements make clear that his heritage is not from wealth or the elite class, but because of the American possibilities of education he was able to become the president of the untied states. A privilege he would not amount to in any other country.

Emphasizing the constitutional rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness president Obama, in my perspective, impresses a point that those possibilities will still thrive under his leadership. That he will continue to glorify our countries already promising reputation. Listing three dominating issues in the American system, employment economy, taxation and health care, a political figure John Carey, beside the president will attempt to insure tax breaks for American company’s who employ within the United States. Health Care affordable to all citizens with the quality that of our politicians and energy independence not chaining us to profiting oil companies.

Knowing he’s become the senator at this specifc moment in time for both anti and pro his agenda his efforts are to cover and please both sides of major issues. Noting that although war, in his opinion, should not be the first option, he makes clear it will always be there as a deterrent. That he is ready to do whatever is necessary to protect this nation. It is in his last few sentiments that I respect most of this speech. His motivation to continuously push forward for our country. That his primary care is that of the average American and protecting the rights and life style of your fellow neighbor. This keynote speech left me under the impression that his attempts are to equalize the opportunities of success in this country so every citizen has the possibility to explore their utmost potential.
