President Obama attends Democratic Women’s Leadership Forum

President, Barack Obama presented a speech to the Women’s Leadership Forum (WLF) in Washington, D.C. on last Friday.
“It is good to be with all of you, especially like being in a room of Democratic women,” said Obama as he began his speech.
Obama reminded the audience of the time when they meet seven years ago.
“ We were losing 800,000 jobs a month, and the unemployment rate was on its way to 10 percent,” said Obama.
Playing a major role in the Democratic Party, since 1993 the Women’s Leadership Forum has a mission of raising money as a tool to support the President’s agenda and Playing a major part in engaging women in our democracy.
“A lot of you all were involved in the movement, and have stayed ever since,” said Obama.
President Barack Obama decided to discuss national issues, events, and even reminded his audience of his accomplishments that he has made as the 44th President. Obama mentioned
“When I took office we were hopelessly addicted to foreign oil, we have managed to cut our oil imports by half. We have doubled the production of clean energy, tripled the amount of wind power we generate, 20 times more, and solar energy is now created than when I came into office. And all that is generating good jobs that cant be outsourced and helping the environment,” said Obama.
“Democrats have an optimistic vision about where the country can go,” a supportive comment to the current democrat candidates that are running in the upcoming 2016 presidential election. Obama then describes the Republican candidates as being a “Grumpy Cat,” as he tried to imitate the internet sensation’s grumpy facial expression, which is used in everyone’s memes
“Everything is terrible, according to them,” Obama said falling into laughter.
The upcoming election candidates for president in 2016 have yet to respond to the comments President Obama stated but then again, what could have been said? Obama then wittily takes shots at some of the republicans and their campaign groups the nation faces in today’s political world.
“And you’ve got to feel bad for the fact-checkers for the Republicans because they’ve got to spend hours trying to keep up with some of the crazy stuff that their candidates are claiming. And the reason they have to make up stuff is because they don’t have a record to run on,” Obama says calmly.
Obama also placed blame for a possible government shutdown on Republican lawmakers, insisting that the republican lawmakers agree on spending increases for defense and nondefense programs, before he’ll sign into law, a spending bill for the current fiscal year. This will eventually increase our deficit that Obama has worked ever so diligently to bring down. The president does not stop there, Obama went on to mention some of the biggest achievements during his term. America is currently leading the world in confronting new threats, leading the world in global action on climate change, Marriage equality being a reality in all 50 states and High school and college graduation rates increasing at a very rapid rate. To bring the informative speech to a close Obama went on to say.
“So the point is, look, number one, we’ve got a lot of things to feel good about in this country. And it’s a shame when politicians spend all their time trying to make people feel bad, or more — typically, trying to make them feel scared, talking down the country all the time because it serves your politics. We don’t have time for that. We’ve got more work to do.”
President Obama mentions the background of democrats by saying that “Their stories may not be exactly like ours, but we’re in the same fight. We care about the same things. We believe in each other”. And that’s what makes him proud to be a Democrat.
