State of the Union Address

In Obama's State of the Union Address, he said "we chose to move forward as one nation, one people". There were many issues that were given a solution which leaves America wondering, what will the future truly hold? Since the beginning of Presidents Obama’s time in office there has been many Americans that wonder what will he say needs to be done and what will actually take action. At the State of the Union address he gives many actions that Washington will be taking. To me the State of the Union Address for the first time in years seemed to bring America together as a union.
The one I thought to be most interesting was the issue of education. The development of our country lies in the hands of the young adults and children, they are the future. Obama said "the best anti poverty program around is world class education". President Obama recognizes that education in America can and needs to be greatly approved. Children should not have their futures ruined because they live in poverty and if America can improve the education problem then poverty can begin to heal it. Although it will always be near impossible for all of congress, or all of America, to agree on an issue-there was a true union at the address tonight.
America cannot solve all of its issues by just listening to Democrats or Republicans, but rather can solve the issues together. America chose to be as one country and act as one people decades ago, that same concept applies today. If America can further unify then progress can be made, change can happen. To make unification happen the first step is bringing together Democrats and Republicans, which I believe was his most important statement and movement tonight.
Obama states "America must always stand on the side of freedom and human dignity". President Obama relates the problems today to problems that America has already been "solved". Obama discusses civil rights in terms of racism, gays, women, and immigrants as still being current issues. How much has America learned? Yes women are allowed to vote and there no longer slaves but how many Americans are allowed their "American values". How many Americans can be truly free? None, one, all?
How can the American's become motivated to reunite as a country? Can America change? America even since discovered has been in constant change so change will never truly end. Change should never end as society grows and time goes on change in necessary. It is as if America is stuck a decade behind, this meaning things that should have been resolved a decade ago are trying to be solved now. Our government has not been changing as fast as the American Society. So how do we change that? How can we find success?
