President Obama's upcoming SOU Address is quickly approaching. Obama is known as a wonderful public speaker, able to grab the attention of the crowd and hold it as he relays his thoughts.
Obama has many similarities to previous President's when it comes to speaking style. The most similar to him however is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy was young, eloquent and most of all, he was different. He brought something to the White House that had never been there before, much the same as Obama has done.
Obama also has similarities with Bill Clinton. Their approval rating was about the same at this point of their terms, with Clinton also dealing with economic troubles and attempting to reform health care.
Surprisingly, you can also find similarities between two presidents on opposite sides of the spectrum as well. Reagan also had some similarities that we can see in Obama, as his approval rating was also in the low 40-percent range, and Reagan also faced a tremendous unemployment struggle. Reagan's term saw an unemployment rate of over 9%, which is about what Obama is facing right now.
Knowing all of these facts, it is pretty easy to predict the issues Obama will addresss in his upcoming speech. The topics of health care, the economy, jobs and our troops overseas are sure to be talked about, with Obama delivering plans in his normal eloquent style.
