Utterance
1. Barack is thinking about folks like my dad
and like his grandmother
2. That's why he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair
Pay Act to help women get equal pay for
equal work.
3. That's why he cut taxes for working
families and small businesses and fought to
get the auto industry back on its feet.
That's how he brought our economy from the
brink of collapse to creating jobs again – jobs
you can raise a family on, good jobs right
here in the United States of America.
4. When it comes to the health of our families,
Barack refused to listen to all those folks who
told him to leave health reform for another day,
another president.
He didn't care whether it was the easy thing to
do politically
5. That's not how he was raised – he cared
that it was the right thing to do.
6. And he believes that women are more than
capable of making our own choices about our
bodies and our health care...that's what my
husband stands for.

Interpretation
This speech is showing that ordinary people
such as her dad and his grandmother also
faced difficult situations as many people do.
It is showing that women experience inequality
at work. No matter how hard women work or if
they do better than men, the pay is still the
same. That’s why he fought for the Gender’s
equality.
This clause reveals President Obama thinks
about his people and tried to give them better
opportunities to make their dreams come true.
Because he saw how hard the things can be
when there’s an inequality and corruption.
This speech reveals President Obama cared
about his people. He thought about everyone
working every single day at work with awful
conditions and instead of listen to those
heartless people who wanted that reform to
stay as it was. He created a better life for
everyone and honored those who couldn’t live
the right conditions.
This clause reveals President Obama as a
reliable person that does things correctly.
This speech is showing President Obama
believes in freedom. Instead of following
society standard’s he listened the voices of
women who wanted to live without asking for
permission to do something with their own
body.
This clause reveals President Obama can be in
the same financial issues as ordinary people.
me and like so many of you, he never
could've attended college without financial aid.
8. That's why Barack has fought so hard to
increase student aid and keep interest rates
down, because he wants every young person
to fulfill their promise and be able to attend
college without a mountain of debt.
So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't
political – they're personal.
9. Barack knows the American Dream because
he's lived it...and he wants everyone in this
country to have that same opportunity, no
matter who we are, or where we're from, or
what we look like, or who we love.
10. And he believes that when you've worked
hard, and done well, and walked through that
doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut
behind you...you reach back, and you give
other folks the same chances that helped
you succeed.
11. Because for Barack, success isn't about
how much money you make, it's about the
difference you make in people's lives.
That when it comes to think about his
children’s future, he will do anything to bring
them a good life and knows you will do it too.
That’s why he thought further.
This speech is showing President Obama’s
past, he lived those difficulties and wanted to
erase them. So, young women and men can
be able to fight for what they want to be without
so much trouble on their road.

Feminism
This clause reveals President Obama is a
dreamer. He didn’t let “The American dream” to
be just a dream. He went through hard things
to provide you a chance to get that dream be
yours without thinking about your race, gender,
nationality or sexual preference.
It refers to be aware about each other. If you
can help, do it. Because if you can give them
the chance to get what they really want using
the same way that made you succeed. It will
become a piece of hope to those who thought
their future was over.
It refers to the success key. You can have a lot
of money and power. But if you don’t want to
help people, you are not successful. The fact of
being aware to those people in need is the
reason that makes you successful. Because
you’re not only thinking about you.
