Geschreven op 26-1-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Agenda, Communicatie, Joe Biden - Barack Obama
21 January 2015: President Barack Obama delivers his sixth State of the Union address, at the United States Capitol, January 20, 2015.
“A brighter future is ours to write. Let’s begin this new chapter — together — and let’s start the work right now.” President Barack Obama, State of the Union, January 20, 2015
28 January 2014: President Barack Obama delivers the State of the Union address in the House Chamber at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., Jan. 28, 2014. “Today in America, a teacher spent extra time with a student who needed it, and did her part to lift America’s graduation rate to its highest level in more than three decades.
An entrepreneur flipped on the lights in her tech startup, and did her part to add to the more than eight million new jobs our businesses have created over the past four years. An autoworker fine-tuned some of the best, most fuel-efficient cars in the world, and did his part to help America wean itself off foreign oil. A farmer prepared for the spring after the strongest five-year stretch of farm exports in our history. A rural doctor gave a young child the first prescription to treat asthma that his mother could afford. A man took the bus home from the graveyard shift, bone-tired but dreaming big dreams for his son. And in tight-knit communities across America, fathers and mothers will tuck in their kids, put an arm around their spouse, remember fallen comrades, and give thanks for being home from a war that, after twelve long years, is finally coming to an end. Tonight, this chamber speaks with one voice to the people we represent: it is you, our citizens, who make the state of our union strong”. President Barack Obama, State of the Union, January 28, 2014.
12 February 2013: President Obama delivers the 2013 State of the Union address to Congress and the nation. “In states that make it a priority to educate our youngest children…studies show students grow up more likely to read and do math at grade level, graduate high school, hold a job, form more stable families of their own. We know this works. So let’s do what works and make sure none of our children start the race of life already behind.” President Barack Obama, State of the Union, February 12, 2013.
25 January 2012: President Barack Obama delivers the 2012 State of the Union Address to Congress and the nation.
>President Obama tells the American people about a series of steps he’s taken without the help of Congress to grow the economy and create jobs — including a new strategy aimed at boosting tourism introduced this week.
25 January 2011: As President Obama addresses the Nation, WhiteHouse.gov will offer a companion stream of visual aids, like charts and quick stats to provide context and emphasize key points. Anyone will be able to use this feature by heading to WhiteHouse.gov/sotu and using the “Enhanced” tab.
This “Enhanced SOTU” feature is just one of many ways The White House is working to provide as much information as possible and answer your questions about the speech. As Dan pointed out Friday, there are a variety of opportunities to engage online with White House officials and even President Obama himself. Immediately after the speech (as in, you don’t even have to leave the webpage because the video feed will automatically switch) policy experts will answer questions submitted via the web and a live audience at the White House. And for the rest of the week, we’re working with a wide range of online communities to surface even more feedback about the President’s speech and the state of our union. So Tuesday night at 9 p.m. EST, be sure to load WhiteHouse.gov to make your State of the Union experience as informative and interactive as possible. You can find all the details on the brand new State of the Union page.
26 januari 2010: Vaste bezoekers van Anders Bekeken weten het al wat langer. Ik ben behoorlijk gecharmeerd van de wijze waarop er vanuit het Witte Huis wordt gecommuniceerd. De stijl, de openheid en de inzet van alle communicatiekanalen bracht Barack Obama de overwinning en direct na zijn inauguratie was er al een compleet nieuwe website voor het Witte Huis.
The 2010 State of the Union Address
Morgen een belangrijke dag met The State of the Union. Ook dat wordt door de regering Obama net iets anders aangepakt dan gebruikelijk, dus werd het tijd voor iets nieuws op You Tube, The State of the Union Channel als onderdeel van CitizenTube.
When President Obama walks into the Capitol on Wednesday to deliver his State of the Union speech, millions of American viewers will tune in. It is a unique moment for the President to address the public on a broad spectrum of issues, including economic recovery and job creation. Of course, many Americans will react to the speech with questions, comments, and concerns.
From our live webstream to a free iPhone app, the White House is using technology to make sure the President’s State of the Union Address reaches as many people as possible. Now we are excited to announce how President Obama will also be using the web to offer the public a direct and participatory way to communicate back to him.
After the President’s speech begins this Wednesday (1/27) at 9pm EST, anyone will be able to submit a follow-up question and vote on others at YouTube.com/CitizenTube. Then next week, the President will answer questions in a special online event, live from the White House.
Don’t miss the speech at 9pm EST on Wednesday night and the chance to follow-up with your questions. We look forward to hearing what you have to say. The White House Blog

Barack Obama’s State of the Union 2011: 80% of US Should Run on Clean Energy by 2035
Obama just wrapped up the 2011 State of the Union address, and one of the clear highlights was his call for massive national investment in new technologies — especially clean energy. Referring to renewable energy, Obama said that “this was our generation’s Sputnik moment”; the moment when we realize that we’ve fallen behind and redouble our efforts. But that wasn’t the only notable element of Obama’s speech in terms of climate, energy, and the environment.
No, also notable was the fact that the president never even mentioned the word ‘climate’ or ‘global warming’ once, despite coming off the heels of a year fraught with extreme weather events, that was tied for hottest ever recorded — and coming off of a decade that was indeed the hottest ever measured. Which is unfortunate (though expected) — this is a moment when the science is clear and easily digestible, and the American public deserves to understand it.
Nonetheless, the Sputnik moment segment of his speech, which came early on, while many non-pundit people were still paying attention, was encouraging. Obama advocated continuing aggressive government funding of renewable energy research projects, and set a goal of having 80% of American households receive their power from clean energy sources by 2035. He explicitly noted that this would include nuclear, wind, solar, and, somehow, clean coal. Source: Treehugger
Great goal, but nuclear isn’t a clean energy source and clean goal isn’t possible. Natural gas is still a fossile energy source.
