There is no doubt in the fact that Barak Obama is an awesome speaker and his oratory skills have an effect which calms you down, demands that you pay attention and absorb what is being said.
I have not been able to find the full script of his speech+Q&A anywhere online. If any of the readers have an idea, please comment as I would love to attach my references with the full sentences as said by Mr. Obama.
His ease to start off and deliver facts is very refreshing to see and experience.
The first sentence which caught my attention, was the recognition that Kurds are an integral part of Iraqi demographic and referred to Sunnis as "Sons Of Iraq". This is a reality which was never recognized by the previous administration but is spoken by "the man" in office.
On current situation in Pakistan, he firmly expressed that he has complete faith in Pakistani army being fully capable of controlling the security situation and the nuclear arsenal. However, he did mention, ISI (Pakistani Intel Agency) has this age old misconception that India is their "mortal enemy". Good to hear the reality again from "the man" in office. Here is a nice write up on Pakistan's taliban situation with hidden sarcastic remarks of jihadi ideologies clashing with each other.
His superior statesman skills were in full force, when addressing major domestic issues:
- the fact that he faces resistance on both sides of the party lines with his proposals
- his position on abortion; "his a moral and ethical issue"
- recognizing that abortion is a very hard issue for women personally and that teen pregnancies are on a rise
- he wants US govt. to get out of auto/banking business ASAP (mentions high level milestones)
- his financial plan includes relief for common Americans to refinance their properties
- addressing the issue of 50% unemployment rate among the black community in New York
He did mention that green energy is part of a "new era", which will be remembered by future generations to come. Here is a quick list of all green energy programs in united states and Canada.
In middle of all the serious talk, he has the ability to bring in some smart humour.
Just check out this piece of Q&A session:
Overall, he is "surprised by the positive development in last 1 year but is troubled by the bickering that happens during big crisis".
Mr. Obama has tough tough issues in front of him, but in my opinion he has taken all the right steps in the first 100 days. Hopefully, the public and private community will allow him to fully execute this plan to bring US back as the world leader, innovator and power!
