In terms of content, he began with the negative situations concerning the US and then explained the ways in which he will combat them. The main examples of tough situations were the economy, climate change and terrorism. He relates the past few years as tough times were America has suffered. However, he gives hope by saying : "Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America." Obama then goes on to list the things that will "remake" America such as creating jobs and laying a foundation for growth, using science to improve healthcare and using solar and wind power to fuel America's industries.
He also takes a step into unchartered territory when he says: "To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect." He also states that they will forgive any wrongdoings if those peace-disturbers will "unclench their fist". He also extends his help to third-world and developing countries. It seems like Obama is looking to better America's image by sending out help and aid instead of war and terror.
All in all, from his passionate presentation to his hope-filled ideas, President Obama gave an unforgettable, fantastic speech.
