| Description | Ronald Reagan famously ran for reelection in 1984 under the slogan “It’s morning again in America.”
While things weren’t great, he used retrospection to ask America if things were better than four years ago, and if they had hope for the next four under him.
Barack Obama used his State of the Union address to make a nearly identical point.
The speech was in essence a campaign speech to remind Americans of what the President has accomplished as well as a promise to continue the progress we’ve seen over the past three years.
President Obama inherited an America in much graver shape than Reagan, and must make the same hopeful pitch that Reagan made almost 30 years ago.
Essentially, the dead of night Obama inherited has become pre-dawn, and under his leadership this nation will reach morning. |
