When I took the oath of office, I pledged loyalty to only one special interest group-"We the people." Those people-neighbors and friends, shopkeepers and laborers, farmers and craftsmen-do not have infinite patience. As a matter fact, some 80 years ago, Teddy Roosevelt wrote these instructive words in his first message to the Congress: "The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is once kindled, it burns like a consuming flame." Well, perhaps that kind of wrath will be deserved if our answer to these serious problems is to repeat the mistakes of the past.

    Passionate and commanding

    Explanation:

    The speech first reaffirms the President's commitment to the American people and then mentions how the government must keep that commitment before the people's patience runs out. He shows his passion by quoting a metaphor from Teddy Roosevelt and then promises that they will deliver on their promises and not repeat past mistakes.
