25. What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted
beneath them, that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. 54, XIII, a The word ―cynics‖ refers to the negative response to the political state of America. He further states that those political points of view are no longer applicable to the current situation. Thus, he expresses this to ensure that the citizen will not be influenced by the negative opinion and only hear that what government informs is a truth and what his government plans for future is more appropriate. In the fourteenth and fifteenth paragraph, Obama delivers some rhetorical questions that lead people to have a reflection toward the strength possessed by the country. 26.

The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity, on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart -- not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good. 63, XV, a Obama firmly states that the government program should not only benefit those who are already prosperous but affect the whole realm of America. He furthermore proposes new measurement for the economic accomplishment which relies on the way people achieve the prosperity with their own initiative rather than relies on the gross domestic product. Obama, in sixteenth paragraph, refers to the Founding Fathers in order to bring back the concept of law and the rights of man.30. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils that we can scarcely
