Obama State of The Union Address!
It took four long years Mr. Obama to understand the real problems of common US citizen. In his state of the union address he spoke more like a candidate for presidency then being a US president. Once again Mr. Obama tried to appease middle class of US by telling them how much he cares for them. He said, ’’We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well while a growing number of Americans barely get by, or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules’’.
Spoken like a true loyalist he left no leaf unturned to prove him as if he has done each and everything within his powers to accommodate the common American. Like every candidate for 2nd term President, Mr. Obama firstly blamed his predecessors for giving him bad economic conditions. While blaming George W. Bush; he said ’in 2008, the house of cards collapsed. We learned that mortgages had been sold to people who couldn't afford or understand them. Banks had made huge bets and bonuses with other people's money. Regulators had looked the other way, or didn't have the authority to stop the bad behavior.’ Hear he deliberately ignored the fact to mention that he himself provided Bailout for Big Banks and Wall Street.
