Who was the audience for President Obama's speech ?

Answer:

President Obama’s jobs speech on Thursday evening will take place in front of a joint session of Congress, underlining the coming legislative clash over how best to jump-start the nation’s flagging economy.

But the president will have many different audiences when he takes the podium in the House chamber at 7 p.m. (earlier than usual to avoid the start of the N.F.L. season).

The immediate success of the speech may be judged by how lawmakers in the chamber respond, though in Washington’s hyperpartisan atmosphere the reaction is almost certainly going to be negative from the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

The challenge for the president — any president — in such speeches is to find a way to communicate a series of different messages to the many groups who will be watching.

Everyone will hear the same words. But within the speech, particular words will be signals to different constituencies.

And the tone of the speech will matter, too. Will the Obama who gives the speech tonight be the professorial one, methodically explaining the situation to the public? Or will he be the more aggressive, campaign-mode Obama whose rhythm and pace is quicker and more urgent? Or maybe a mix of the two?

Here’s a breakdown of the different groups that Mr. Obama will be talking to on Thursday night:

House Republicans. First and foremost, Mr. Obama will be putting House Republicans on notice that he intends to press them to pass his jobs package — and to use their refusal as a campaign issue if they do not take it up. Speaker John A. Boehner and his top lieutenants have for months demanded that Mr. Obama put his jobs plan on the table. Now, they will have to decide how to deal with it.

Reaction to the details of the president’s proposals that have already leaked out suggests that Mr. Boehner’s party intends to dismiss most of them. But again, the tone could matter. If Mr. Obama is combative, the legislative battle could be short and decisive. If the president extends a series of olive branches, there could be more of an effort to negotiate.

Independents. The White House has made clear that one of its chief goals with the speech is crafting an argument that independent voters will find reassuring.

The president’s victory in the 2008 election leaned heavily on convincing those middle-of-the-road voters that he was the best candidate to handle the economy. Since taking office, his popularity among that group has plunged.

To win them back before the 2012 election, Mr. Obama is hoping to make the case that he is the reasonable one in Washington, the one person willing to compromise and negotiate in good faith to get something done.

“The professional left.” For weeks now, there has been a steady drumbeat of expectations from liberal pundits and columnists who were once derided by Robert Gibbs, the president’s former press secretary, as “the professional left.”

It seems unlikely from the information we have so far that the president’s proposals will completely satisfy the most liberal of his supporters. But the size of the jobs plan — which could approach $400 billion — may help to quiet some of the president’s critics.

And his tone will matter with this audience, too — though in the opposite way. The more he chooses conciliatory language in talking to House Republicans, the less the professional left will be happy. If he chooses fiery rhetoric that will whip up his base, he could anger those Republicans in the House.

Look for a bit of both in the speech to satisfy both audiences.

The markets. Senior White House advisers have long said that they do not measure the president’s success by the daily ups and downs of the stock market.

Article One: The New York Tribune from December 5, 1859

On leaving the Jail, John Brown had on his face an expression of calmness and serenity characteristic of the patriot who is about to die with a living consciousness that he is laying his life down for the good of his fellow creatures.... As he stepped out of the door a black woman, with her little child in her arms, stood near his way. The twain were of the despised race for whose emancipation and elevation to the dignity of children of God he was about to lay down his life.... He stopped for a moment in his course, stooped over, and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brotherhood of man, kissed [the child] affectionately.

Article Two: The Cincinnati Enquirer from December 3, 1859

We rejoice that old BROWN has been hung. He was not only a murderer of innocent persons, but he attempted one of the greatest crimes against society—the stirring up of a servile and civil war. He has paid the penalty for his crimes, and we hope his fate may be a warning to all who might have felt inclined to imitate his aggressive conduct.

Synthesize the Tribune and the Enquirer articles mentioned into one or two paragraphs.

Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.

Among the wonderful deeds of Hannibal this one is enumerated: that having led an enormous army, composed of many various races of men, to fight in foreign lands, no dissensions arose either among them or against the prince, whether in his bad or in his good fortune. This arose from nothing else than his inhuman cruelty, which, with his boundless valour, made him revered and terrible in the sight of his soldiers, but without that cruelty, his other virtues were not sufficient to produce this effect. And short-sighted writers admire his deeds from one point of view and from another condemn the principal cause of them.

What kind of evidence does Machiavelli use in this passage to explain Hannibal’s effectiveness?

empirical evidence in the form of observation
logical evidence in the form of inductive reasoning
anecdotal evidence in the form of historical examples
logical evidence in the form of deductive reasoning

English 10H 2nd semester Beginning Synthesis assignment

In the weeks and months following the events of September 11, 2001, there were understandably widespread feelings of anger and rage, along with the feeling of needing payback. They were understandable because that seems to be what human beings do—we lash out at those we perceive to be our enemies, out of fear, confusion, and hatred. At the same time, there was a tangible sense on the part of many Americans that it was a time to pause and reflect on how we got to this point, and what changes could we make as a society to try and see that something like this never happened again. There was a brief feeling that maybe a window was opening for us to reexamine our role and place in the world. Sadly, those feelings didn’t last long, and that window was slammed shut by the forces of normalization, the voices telling us to “get back to business.” In fact, the president at the time encouraged people to “go shopping,” and to “get down to DisneyWorld.”

This is the background for this assignment—the last time something so widespread and dramatic affected all Americans was probably 9/11, and that’s the context for what this asks you to do.

Prompt: Having lived through the last 10+ months of the pandemic, and the disruptions to our ordinary daily lives, and now, with vaccines becoming more widely available, and the plan to return to school, what do you think is possible in the post-pandemic world? On the day before schools shut down, March 16, 2020, Elizabeth Carter asked this question: “What do you think normal will look like on the other side of this?” Your job is to come up with an answer to that question, using your own experience and the 2 articles you read last week (“Coronavirus in 2021 and Beyond: When Will Life Return to Normal?” and “When will 2021 feel normal again? Here’s what eight experts predict”). This is the first exercise in synthesizing information; incorporate ideas from both articles along with your own thinking.

Feel free to include any thoughts you have about what you’ve seen, what you’ve felt, what you’ve experienced, balanced with a few thoughts you read and incorporate. Think about the conversations we’ve had this year about culture, about justice, about the intersection of the pandemic with the protests for racial justice, and about thinking critically about our lives and how to make them better.
