State of the Union Address

My Predictions:

All of my predictions into the 2013 State of the Union Address were correct. President Obama spoke about all of the things I predicted in my column. He talked about healthcare and bringing the troops home. He mentioned gay and straight equality and he ended his speech with gun control. These were all of the things that I predicted he would speak about. In my column, I also had a quote from President Kennedy's 1951 State of the Union Address as did Obama.

Other Topics Discussed:

There were some suprising topics Obama mentioned in his address. He talked about Cyber hacking. This topic shocked me the most because it is the one topic I never imagined to be disdomestic cussed. He also mentioned deadbeat dads. This surprised me because I don't know what Obama think he can do to help a man be a better father to his child.

Another topic Obama discussed that I did not mention in my column was a better climate and creating a more sustainable source of energy. This topic lead to his fix-it first program. Two topics that Obama discussed that I did not mention in my column was women's equality in pay and domestic violence. The domestic viloence topic arose because Vice President Joe Biden just created a bill to help domestic violent victims.

Obama also spoke about education and getting a higher and better education for children of all ages. He discussed imigration and the Bill created by Gabby Giffords.

The thing that I found most intriguing out of the topics he discussed that I did not mention in column was how manufactuers like Apple are working to make their products in the United States instead of overseas. While this would be good for our economy, it is not something that I see happening anytime soon.

I liked watching the State of the Union. I thought Obama did a good job of getting his points across and I believe he surprised a lot of people with some of the topics he discussed.
