Barack Obama is officially the President of the United States of America. During his Inaugural address I was listening for a few things and it was interesting what I heard him say, we predicted he would in class. Currently we have been talking about Obama and what he has promised this country, CHANGE, but will this change happen? Will things get worse before they get better? How and when will this change happen? What do the people need to do in order to help? (What will he mention in his address to the public?)
SACRIFICE
A web article from Yahoo News is titled, Barack Obama's Inaugural Address: Humility, Gratitude, Sacrifice. After listening to his speech again I was waiting to hear some sort of message that he could be giving the people. "We have chosen hope over fear, Unity of purpose over conflict and discord. We come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas that for far too long have restrained our politics. We remain a young nation..." [His message] "...but the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit, to choose our better history, to carry forward the gift, that noble idea passed on from generation to generation, a God given promise that all are equal, that all are free, and all deserve that chance to pursue their full measure of happiness." Once we end our childish ways of living we are able to make a change in the world.
