Obama and John Winthrop

I found 2 similarities and 1 difference between Obama and John Winthrop. One is that both of them emphasized a sense of community. As John said on the boat, Obama also said "I am my brother's keeper, I'm my sister's keeper." He mentioned that we are the one, we are in the same family(community) and we are responsible for others even though they are not homeless. The other is that they insisted that our community have to be a city on a hill. The USA put their value on Equality of Opportunities. Obama has an African name and he is black and skinny but he is the president of the United States of America. He said that his story can be possible in only America because The USA is the city on a hill.

Obama said that we had to remove our enemies like spin masters and negative ad peddlers. On the other hand, John winthrop said that we can be a model city. Our enemies critisize us and because of it, we can be close to a city on a hill.

Other speekers are always busy to blame the other state. BUT Obama didn't blame the Red state and the red state and the blue state can make the REAL USA together. That's why I love OBAMA !!
