Analyzation Of The 2000 State Of The Union1
This year’s State Of The Union speech was a very unique one in many ways. First off, it was extremely ambitious considering this is President Clinton’s eighth and final year as President of the United States. The sheer amount of propositions brought up were mind boggling, especially for the average American viewer who is not able to comprehend all the slight tricks that President Clinton is using for his benefit throughout the speech. Of the many topics discussed by the president however, there were a few which I paid more attention to, and those are going to be the ones I discuss in more detail throughout this paper.

What is the point of renewing another country when there is still things to be renewed back home? It just doesn’t make too much sense at all, President Clinton needs to get his priorities straight in my opinion. One more issue Clinton seemed to cover very nicely is that of trade with the other countries of the world. This proposal was very good in that he covered every aspect of the nations that are of more importance, and this was very good for him to do. He especially covered the touchy state of trade with China, and explained well about all of his plans to increase trade and also to refine trade with the countries. Finally, he linked this propostion well with that of his Globalization plan, they really did fit well together. My brief thoughts on this issue are th
