Scheme Obama’s speech text

Introduction: before beginning his acceptance speech, Obama thanked the important people in his life, those who helped him during the campaign ballot box and the citizens who voted for him. After thanked the president began to list the various problems that will face during his appointment and these are the same problems that had made him to enter politics. Then he continued his speech with specific identification of problems claiming to have the proposals for solutions. He concluded the introduction of his speech making fun of the stratagems adopted by his opponent to capture the votes of the electors.

 

First sub-problem: the first problem faced is tax evasion and fiscal pressure. Obama said that the lower middle class is not able to pay the taxes imposed by the state and for this there was a tax reduction that can not be extended to the wealthy because this will not lead benefit to the U.S. economy.

 

Second sub-problem: Obama said that to restore the economy of the country is necessary to create new jobs for the American people and increase exports of national products developing small industries.

 

Third sub-problem: economic development is characterized by a total dependence on oil. According to Obama you should focus on the development and use of renewable and non-polluting energy improving both the U.S. economy and the health of the citizens.

 

Fourth sub-problem: to carry out these changes it is necessary that future generations have an adequate academic preparation to have a greater awareness of the issues that will face in the future. Only giving students belonging to all social classes the opportunity to have schools with teachers trained and motivated America will have the possibility to change.

 

Fifth sub-problem: the fifth problem that Obama faced is the America soldiers who are in the Middle East in war zones. He said that in 2014 he will bring home the soldiers in Afghanistan but that however the American people will always defend themselves against terrorist attacks. Also stated that will help soldiers on their return guaranteeing jobs, housing and medical care.

 

Sixth sub-problem: Obama continued his speech, saying that to change the situation is necessary that all make an effort, but despite this he will not penalizing the middle class to favour the rich and cut their taxes. He also stated that it is the people to make the government and not the government to make the people; he recognized that the country has big ambitions but which may implement only with the cooperation of all.

 

Conclusion: Obama concluded by asking voters not to support him as a person but his figure representing his ideas and his plans for the future of America. With his last sentence he asked God to watch over and protect his people and his nation.
