Analysis of Connection:
     This article and video is about Obama's State of Union on January 27, 2010. As stated in the constitution the president must, from time to time, make a state of the union. During Obama's speech, he talks about the major things he plans on making a priority during his term, those being the economy, health care and jobs. President Obama said "Jobs must be our number one focus in 2010", he will push for a new jobs bill that will make more jobs for citizens in this hard economic time. 
     President Obama states that he knows of the mistakes he made in his first year but he is moving toward living up to his campaign slogan "change we can believe in". That address seemed to be aimed to the Americans people and reassuring them that he is working towards a change. Obama's other focus is the health care reform, he suggest that Congress do not walk away from the reform because he will not walk away from the people who will lose their health insurance this year. He will work for them, and ensure that they have health insurance. 

    The president is entitled, by the constitution to speak to Congress and inform them of plans for the coming year and how those things shall be handled. Barack Obama made his state of the union an unforgettable one. Proposing more jobs, health care reform and ways to rebuild America's economy.
