1996 State of the Union Address: Conclusion and Shout-Outs (Paragraphs 90-95) Summary

But Enough About Me…

  • As is traditional for State of the Union Addresses, Clinton concludes with shout-outs to some average American citizens.
  • Schoolteacher Lucius Wright "created groups to help inner-city children turn away from gangs" (90.3).
  • Police officer Jennifer Rodgers was on the scene after the Oklahoma City bombing, helping "to pull her fellow citizens out of the rubble" (90.4).
  • With some final, heartwarming words about sticking together, playing as a team, and creating a better future, Bill Clinton finally allows us to take a breather. Sounds like a scene from Hoosiers.
