QUOTE:"The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end."
1. Why did you choose this section?
I chose this quote because I feel like it is showing Obama's message the best, Change. He talks about change, and hope and in this quote I feel like this is an example of how America will change. He addresses issues that Americans are struggling with, and issues that Americans are constantly thinking about. With the state of our economy, our future is something to keep and mind, and what our future has in store for us. We're unsure of whats going to happen, and Obama's quote show us how its a simple answer. If the answer is yes, were going to improve and keep going forward with that, if the answer is no we will take the necessary actions in order to discontinue this.
2. How do Obama's words relate to the everyday life that you know and understand?
Obama is a very relatable speaker. You can tell by the way he talks, and the words that he chooses that he picks them in order to convey his messages best. He talks to Americans as a whole, and not to specific types of people. In his speeches, Obama talks about issues that Americans want to hear and talk about. The war, the economy, the state of America are all important issues to Americans. Americans want to hear about these issues and what our new president will do to improve them.
