'America, for all that we have endured; for all the grit and hard work required to come back; for all the tasks that lie ahead, know this: The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong. (Applause.)
At this moment -- with a growing economy, shrinking deficits, bustling industry, booming energy production -- we have risen from recession freer to write our own future than any other nation on Earth. It’s now up to us to choose who we want to be over the next 15 years and for decades to come.'
How do we analyze the words of our President? What is the critical lens which we as individuals use to make sense of the grand rhetoric that every year every President trots out be they Republican or Democrat. Honed by the best speech writers money can buy, a speech built on a rhythm that allows for frequent response wherein your supporters are obliged to applaud if not stand up like some ritual Cheerleaders hoping that the noise of their clapping hands will overwhelm your emotions as you watch on TV... Yes by Golly this man is so Right.
The man in the Pulpit.
I do not join the applause. Where is our vision? Where are the words? What have you done Mr Meyer?
