Intro: Nation in Crisis
- Obama kicks off the speech with a shout-out to George W. Bush.
- He then immediately changes the subject to how bad things are in America, likening the state of the country to "raging storms" (3.3). Oof. Thanks for nothin', Dubya.
- So, what's going down exactly in this metaphorical raging storm scenario?
- Obama cites problems with the economy, health care, and the war on terror. Just to name a few of the stops on the struggle bus.
