President Obama’s speech on the State of the Union is
inspired by a progressive outlook and modernity. It is highly advisable to read
it carefully. It is a great lesson on politics and public speech. The style is
direct and conversational. It has a strong human touch, with several references
to real people. And above all, it proposes a number of directions and this is
the trademark of a leader: to set the ambition!
Its references to clean cars that will move on alternative
fuels, not on oil, to women’s rights and full empowerment, to the need to stop
the violence against women, and also the
observations about development co-operation are remarkable paragraphs in a
statement that is full of extraordinary reflections.
