- Description:
- United States President Barack H. Obama delivers his final State of the Union address. Obama poses four main questions. These are: how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in the new economy; how do we make technology work for us, and not against us, as we solve our biggest challenges; how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman; how can we make our politics reflect the best in us, and not the worst? In answering these rhetorical questions, Obama describes the technological and social changes reshaping the way we live, the way we work, our environment, and our place in the world. He also discusses how these changes can be made to benefit the American people and further declares that America is the most powerful military presence in the world, climate change is real and that the 2008 recession was not caused by food stamp recipients, but by Wall Street.
