A cry for freedom from an oppressive ruler, and calling others to rally behind them to break free. That's my opinion, I hope it helped.
So when people make tragic movies there is always a theme to them or a goal the author is trying to get out. It might be a sad movie that a lot of bad things happen but in the end usually something good comes out of it and that can help people, or can even be more interesting, to be a successful story.
I believe it is because the government selects you if you are good enough for it.
When Obama says " Last year, we relied less on foreign oil, than in any of the past sixteen years" he is using persuasion. He is persuading the listener by appealing to their sense of being independent from having to get oil from some of the foreign countries that we were at war with. When he states "A strategy that's cleaner" he is appeasing the people who are environmentalists and who want to do what they can for the planet. He also manages to intrigue the common working man by stating that the country will be "full of new jobs."
There's another question that's the exact same with people answering :)
