Inaguration Day Assignment

Presidents Obamas inaugaration speech gave a lot of hope to Americans. his speech reassured them that he can and will make America better, and get it back to what it used to be. More specifically he will get us out of the recession and the war. Obama states in his speech that "We will not apologize for out way of life." He is saying that our country shouldn't be ashamed of how its run or how we run our everyday lives compared to the rest of the world. Obama is making the American way of life something to be proud, something that should be embraced. While Former President Bush said something similar, but made it seem like no matter what the way Americans live their lives is not going to change. He made it seem like the life of an American was top priority, not the war or our economic status.When Obama said "Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America" I felt like he was again embracing the American Way of Life and willing to change it for the better. this comment showed the peopel that we STILL have the potential to keep America as the most powerful nation on Earth.
