After last night’s State of the Union address, supporters have been letting us know what they thought of President Obama’s speech:
“It made me proud. It reminded me (and hopefully others) that America is bigger than personal agendas, but if we pull together as a nation, we can continue to be a great nation. Very encouraging. Very hopeful.”
—Nicole from Georgia
“I loved hearing the President speak about bringing jobs back to the United States. It’s so nice to hear that companies should be penalized for shipping jobs overseas instead of being rewarded. I loved his overall passion throughout the speech. I feel energized to help turn our country around!”
—Matt from Michigan
“I am a senior in high school in Devon, Pennsylvania. The part of the speech on education and the importance of good teachers is completely true and there do need to be incentives for creative, hardworking, and inspirational teachers. The President’s stress on education inspired me to continue working hard to get a good education and eventually become a productive citizen boosting the economy.”
—Charlotte from Pennsylvania
“I think the President’s State of the Union was a strong statement of how we, as a nation, need to come together, work for needed change, and get the job done. I appreciated the reference to the military. I have two sons and a daughter-in-law who proudly served our country in Iraq. Congress could take a lesson from the unity of our military!”
—Kim from Ohio
