G12

Substance- Obama proposed to raise the minimum wage to $9.00, cut spending and raise taxes on the upperclass, and a shift to cleaner energy.

Style- Obama spoke very confidently and made it clear what his goals for the nation were. He used hand gestures and other body notions to further express his emotions. Obama mentioned numerous people, including the families from New Town Connecticut.

Response- The camera zoomed in on Joe Biden a lot, who was standing behind the president. The media also showed John Boehner and Paul Ryan, both of whom seemed uninterested and in bad moods. Obama received the biggest reaction when he talked about the end of the Afghanistan War and the troops coming home.
