In this speech, he manages to do something Barack Obama has thus far failed to do: he shares a personal narrative that is substantive and highlights America's virtues.
Documented as many times as he has delivered a speech, President Obama notoriously makes everything about the Man: Barack Obama. His self-aggrandizing narrative is generally used to mischaracterize America's history, belittle America's core principles, and exaggerate America's shortcomings.
Rather than learning American history from historical fiction writers like Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky, Senator Rubio asserts that his knowledge of America's greatness comes from events he has seen with his own eyes.
America is the greatest nation in history. We must stand by the principles that made her great if she is to remain on top in the future.
