The Aging Of President Obama In The White House

Millennnials in the West of the United States showed the strongest support for President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address, according to data provided by Yik Yak, a location-based mobile app that is popular with young people.

Today, technology doesn’t just replace jobs on the assembly line, but any job where work can be automated.

“I want to be clear about this”. That’s what makes me so hopeful about our future.

“The future we want, all of us want — opportunity and security for our families; a rising standard of living and a sustainable, peaceful planet for our kids — all that is within our reach. So I will continue to seek a vote and a debate on this question of how we should engage in the threat of ISIL”.

How do we have a politics that reflects the best of us, not the worst? The Twitter audience peaked at 30,600 tweets-per-minute immediately after the president’s speech.

“It’s not too much of a stretch to say that some of the only people in America who are going to work the same job, in the same place, with a health and a retirement package for 30 years are sitting in this chamber”, the president quipped.

“We have to reject any politics that targets people because of their race or their religion. That’s bluster. That’s not serious”, Obama said. Americans have a choice to make in November, he said, and he spelled out the case for his side.

That is where we, the millennials of the free world, come in. Here’s what the President said on a varieties of topics. At another point, the president said, “Anyone claiming that America’s economy is in decline is peddling fiction”.

Even a handful of innovative digital projects out of the U.S. Digital Service, the General Services Administration’s 18F and the Presidential Innovation Fellows failed to get a shout out.

“The worldwide system we built after the World War Two is now struggling to keep pace with this new reality”, he said. And this: “Masses of fighters on the back of pickup trucks and twisted souls plotting in apartments or garages pose an enormous danger to civilians and must be stopped”. And the president was calling us out.

The president also acknowledged that the divisions between the parties have grown wider in his seven years in office. Those are criminal justice reform, how we combat our heroin epidemic and dealing with the issue of college affordability.

The anti-Muslim rhetoric, he said, “betrays who we are as a country”. And the President announced one final, ambitious goal…to cure cancer. Obama said that American economic and foreign policy is stronger than described by “a bunch of folks right across the river” – a jab at Republican presidential candidates campaigning for the party’s nomination in the early voting state of Iowa.

I grew up watching the State of the Union addresses with my parents and always knew that it was something important.
