the 21st century, the American promise alive,"’ (Kellner, 2016)
a. Interpretation: Through this line. Barack Obama tried to show to
the audience that the United States of America does not only
belong to one culture of people. It is a multi-cultural nation state
where people from all over the world migrate with the purpose of
finding a better life opportunity. Moreover, he considered America
to be ‘land of Lincoln’ who fought bravely against the issue of
slavery, bringing it to an end. This signified the aspect of
‘freedom’ that is guaranteed by the state to all its citizens (Patton,
2016).

whatever he put his mind to’. (Kreiss, Meadows & Remensperger,
2015)
