State of the Union, part 3

Thursday, January 28, 2016, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)
Meeting cancelled due to snow cover from the weekend blizzard, rescheduled for 2/4/16.

For the last meeting in January, we will wrap-up the State of the Union, focusing on what Obama considers to be the most important question, "How can we make our politics reflect the best in us, and not the worst?" Remember that Obama was elected largely because he wanted to unite the country. HERE is an excerpt of his famous 2004 keynote speech at the DNC. In his last SOTU, he admits that he failed but will continue to try.

For the remainder of the meeting, we will go over the speech as a whole. HERE is a recap from Obama's speech in Omaha following the SOTU. The Whitehouse has created a website to elaborate in the four questions presented at the SOTU.

  1. An overlooked aspect of the SOTU was that Obama's Cabinet toured the country to promote the ideas in the speech. HERE is the schedule.
