I need two paragraphs on what Obama said on State of the Union.?

[Rick Holst]

I looked at the newspaper and found an article about the State of the Union. I couldn't find anything and I have to come up with two paragraphs by tomorrow each on two things President Obama said on State of the Union.

No one watched the state of the union. Sorry.

Since I prepared this answer for your question on Brasilia and couldn't post it, I'm putting it here for you to read it.

Modern Marvel??

The negative social impacts of this spatial segregation are compounded by the absence of suitable public spaces for social interaction in downtown Brasilia, while those that exist are poorly maintained and are not easily accessible for lack of pedestrian friendly streets.

Overall, there is a loss of urbanity in the agglomeration, as the majority of the distinctly dual territory in the metropolitan area is poorly served and offers meager living conditions to the population. The social, functional, and spatial segregation in Brasilia also impacts the population’s sense of belonging as the majority of the population does not live in the city created by its designers, the one with internationally recognized monuments and public spaces, but lives in settlements lacking infrastructure, services, landmarks, and civic spaces.

Brasí­lia: an excerpt from Urbanized
November 5, 2012 | 12 Comments

“In architecture it isn’t enough to just have the right building that works well. It can also be beautiful. It can also be different. It can create surprise. And surprise is the main thing in a work of art. […] I like and respect Brasí­lia very much. It is a simple city, a rational one. I always defend the urban design of Brasí­lia”- Oscar Niemeyer (Architect of Brasília’s Cathederal).

Brasília was officially opened on April 22nd 1960, but the preparations started more than two centuries ago.
Pilot Plan

The first two Brazilian capitals, Salvador and Rio de Janeiro, were built by the coast. Since the second half of 18th century, the governants (the Portuguese King, the Brazilian Emperors and the Brazilian Presidents of the Republic) had had interest in moving the capital to a more interior area, less exposed to maritime raids.
In 1823, José Bonifácio de Andrade e Silva, one of the mentors of the Brazilian Independence (conquered in 1822), is one to propose the moving, already suggesting the name Brasília.
In 1891, the first Constitution of the Brazilian Republic (proclaimed in 1889) determined that a new capital would be built; in 1894, a area of 14,400 sq.km. was reserved for the capital. On September 7th 1922, the first stone of Brasília is laid, in a spot which today is administered by Planaltina, one of the satellite cities of Brasília.

In Brasilia, the relatively low density at the city’s center reflected the elevation of design over practical concerns:

"

The entire city was entirely designed by the planner and a number of government appointed architects. No land values, rents or demand was considered. In this sense the main ideology that created Brasilia was a cult for design and a paternalistic attitude toward the masses. The land on which Brasilia was built was entirely acquired by the State and the construction of highways, government offices, shopping centers and housing was designed and built under direct government supervision without any market input."
