Address. This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of
war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together. What is President Obama’s purpose in this section of the speech?
Being taxed, by the same government that would not allow its colonial citizens to hold government positions, for a war (7 years war) that the colonists had no intention of starting.
