| OBAMA |
2009 inauguration was historical. It’s sad to admit this but before this year I had no clue what an inauguration was and have never even seen one before. But since Obama was the some hosting it this year it was a must. It surprised me when the speech was about to start and I got excited to be watching it this time even though I had no prior knowledge of what it even was. I think it shows something about my America way of life or others at that in general. Obama has become somewhat trendy and if he wasn’t that big of a deal I probably would not have know about the inauguration again this year. I think it shows my own and some Americans values, that politics is not that significant to everyone. After watching Obamas speech it seemed to me like his focus was to tell people that he is just one person with a plan and not with magical powers. He briefly went over topics and seemed to state all the things that America needing some fixing, we understand that he knows what he has to do and will be pressured to fix those problems ASAP. Although I was listening to the inauguration it didn’t really stick because we all know that saying something is a lot easier than doing it. “well done is better than well said” –T.N.Y.C Another thing that everyone around me seemed to notice, was that Obama was being compared to Martin Luther King a lot and I didn’t think it was fair. MLK deserves recognition for the things that he has done and I understand that Obama has a wonderful plan to fix things but has not done anything yet. I feel like Americans are putting Obama on such a high pedestal that just in case if he falls, he’s going to fall hard. Overall this year’s inauguration was eye opening and I learned a lot. From what I heard and have seen it looks to me like Obama is going to have an extremely busy 4 years.>Im still an Obama fan!< |
