Since I only have five minutes I would like to constrain my points to a few things - matters of fact - that I believe need to be brought to the public eye since most of his Speech has been quoted by many of the previous speakers. I honestly believe that as a nation, we have prospered from 2013 until today. That is a genuine fact.
