Subject: Predictions
about what President Barak Obama will say in the state of the union address February
12, 2013
Scope: Compare
and contrast previous state of the unions by President Obama and other
presidents and discuss which ways I believe that President Obama will handle
the state of the union speech that will be given on February 12, 2013.
Need: It is a
significant event because it will be the first state of the union for President
Obama during his second term as President of the United State of America and
just his fourth overall as the president.
Methods/Sources: I
will watch and record the State of the Union on CNN, after I watch it once I
will watch it again to gauge crowd reactions and get a better understanding. I
will use the databases provided at CNN.com and ABC news.com to provide
additional analysis. I expect the president to address the financial state of
the nation early on and throughout the speech. The state of the union will be
just 2 weeks before congress is set to address the next set of economic
deadlines. The financial state of our country has been a touchy issue since the
president initially took office four years ago, so addressing the issue and
providing the people with a plan as to how we will forward in the handling of
this crisis will be important. Expect the president to address equal rights,
one of president Obamas strongest qualities since being elected president is
tackling these tough issues regarding same sex marriages and equal women’s
rights, by addressing these issues the president will make sure to keep some of
his biggest supporters happy. President Obama will no doubt defend his position
and continue to defend his decisions to tax the wealthy more than the middle
class, a decision that isn’t the most popular among the people.
Presentation: An
op-ed column of about 800 words discussing the event. Sources will be sited.
First paragraph would be about the topics he touched upon and in which order.
The second paragraph will be if these are the issues that the president was
expected to touch upon. The third paragraph will be about reactions and what
the plan for the country is moving forward.
Follow up: A
follow up could be if the President has followed through on his word, whether
or not there has been circumstances that may have occurred that has altered the
original plan of the president. Comparing and contrasting the Presidents first
term through the first couple months to the Presidents first couple of months
of his second term.
