Here's the idea -- pick a president in an ATL and an excerpt from one of their State of the Union Addresses.
(TL it's from) ATL President
Year of speech*
An excerpt
An example:
(from RFK surviving TL**) Robert F Kennedy
1970
" I am asking the Congress to enact this administration’s healthcare plan with all due possible speed. Universal, quality healthcare is not a luxury, an entitlement or even ‘socialism’ as was mentioned in a recent response to our healthcare proposal. The first universal health insurance plan was proposed by Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in 1883, and he could hardly be called a socialist or even a liberal by period or modern standards. When you have been to the Mississippi Delta as I have, and seen the starvation, the Third World conditions, children who will never develop their full mental faculties because they have been starved before their fifth birthday, that is a crime against morality. Are we to tell those children and their parents that if they do not qualify for Medicaid and cannot afford private insurance they do not have the right to healthcare? If they are not healthy, how can they find work, get an education and move up the socioeconomic ladder that has always been the centrepiece of the American Dream?"
