He insisted that even if you do not believe in the science behind the fact, “why would we want to pass up the chance for American businesses to produce and sell the energy of the future?” His hour-long address predicated future gains on bridging the partisan divides so evident between the White House and Republican-controlled Congress, and in the sharp rhetoric flowing from the 2016 presidential campaign.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – President Barack Obama is pushing back against claims in the heat of a presidential election that the USA economy and standing in the world are struggling. “The protester determined to prove that justice matters, and the young cop walking the beat, treating everybody with respect, doing the courageous, quiet work of keeping us safe”, Obama said.
But Americans remain overwhelmingly unconvinced that the U.S.is heading in the right direction.
-On policies regarding ISIS/ISIL: “Priority No. 1 is protecting the American people and going after terrorist networks”.
It was a call to work with the 44th President of the United State and Congress, and to keep America strong as the nation we are.
“We’re feeling a crushing national debt, a health care plan that has made insurance less affordable”.
Obama lamented the current state of political discourse and acknowledged that he had failed to unite the country.
“It’s one of the few regrets of my presidency – that the rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better”. That can not continue. Lawmakers have an obligation to approve meaningful actions and laws, no matter from which side of the political spectrum they come.
“We have big decisions to make”.
How do we make sure that the spirit of innovation is used to solve problems? “That’s not telling it like it is”.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) seconded, saying to resist “the siren call of the angriest voices”. “Our country is being tested”, she said. “We need to start pushing our elected officials”.
She said Republicans must recognise their role in the declining trust in government in the US.

An analysis of Yik Yak posts that specifically discussed Tuesday’s speech, showed that 47 per cent of millennials – defined as those aged between 23-35 – approved of Obama’s address, while 23 per cent disapproved and 30 percent were neutral. Obama could barely muster an applause when say it’s wrong to insult people different faiths.
