There were many different area's Barak Obama covered durring the 2011 State of the Union speech. Such topics I felt to be more important then others were: competition,education, and economy. As Obama pointed out competition is fierce right now more and more states are passing us buy on the race to the top and that has to do with education. I completely agree that education is key. And our generation is slacking off/not taking it as seriously. Obama believes that family plays a huge role in determining how much a child will take their studies seriously and it's true. Logically if you know that your child has a test or a big essay to write and you decide to let them stay the night before it's due and watch Glee then it's partially the parent to blame for not saying or motivating the kid to get up off there bum and do there homework. Not sayig it's ust the parents fault infact it;s more of the childs fault. Obama's preech to get children to want to work harder is so important. It's teaching us that what we are doing right now is determining what we'll be doing 3 or 4 yers from now.
The second point I would like to point out is our economy. We ar going through a huge economic downfall. With all of these job losses it'd getting harder and harder for the average person to pay the bills or even send there kid to college. Thats why I agree with Obama on reshaping this economy. We need to pick those people back up on their feet. Thats why we are giving tax cutts to the middle class, or funding different organizations to raise money. There is a problem but the question is what are we going to do to fix it?
