Every year the President of the United States gives a speech called the "State of the Union Address." In it he (or she, one day) talks to Congress about how things are going in our country.
Today, put down some thoughts for your own State of the Union Address, if you were to make the same speech.
How are things going in our country? Are you satisfied with everything? What is working in our country, and what is not working? Think about schools, transportation, national defense, our system of health care, the arts, protection of the environment, food stamps, welfare, treatment of the elderly, and other things that make up who we are as a people.
Be the President for a day, and tell us how we are doing as a country.
“My fellow citizens, I am your president, Gina Sarah Colette Cuiffo. I am here today to tell you how our country is fairing. To say that we are doing better than ever would be an understatement. Our nation as a whole has fixed each problem that we were given. Not only have I proven myself to you as a people, but I have proven myself to other nations as well. I am satisfied with all of the progress we have made, and I couldn’t have done it without the help of the great people of the United States. Last year when I came into office, I asked that you write down each thing that you think our nation has a problem with. I took those papers and personally looked over each one. I made it my mission to attend to each problem. I did not take a vacation this year like past presidents have done. I worked hard each day to prove to you all that I am good enough to be your president. Gas prices have decreased. The health care issue has been solved. Our schools have raised their graduating rates by over four hundred percent. Our environment is no longer going through global warming and is the best it has been in centuries. Food stamps are no longer needed, because I have solved the issues of poverty. Social security is taken care of. Any aspect of the nation that I should have covered has been covered. If you have any issues that you think haven’t been covered, I welcome you to come up and ask me about it and I will tell you anything you would like to know. According to any statistics you can find, you will see that I have done nothing but good for this nation and I hope you can all see that and consider it when you are voting again this year. No other president in the past has been able to compare, and I take pride in all the accomplishments I have made. I am so happy to tell you this, and I hope that you do not take my happiness as arrogance. I hope that you are all as proud of me as I am of you for making this nation what it is. Growing up, I saw bad people in the world, and I saw how they brought on our downfall. Now, with me in office, crime and drugs and all illegal acts have been completely wiped out and the world is full of good people again, just like it should be. I want to thank you for your time and consideration, and I would sincerely like to remind you that if you have any problems or concerns, or even positive feedback, please feel free to call me at any time of the day or night. As your president, I want to be available at any time for you to count on my help for any matter, whether good or bad. Thank you again for your time, have a lovely evening.”
