Barack Obama: Inaugural Speech



Barack Obama, the First non-white President of the United States of America, accepted as the 44th President of the United States on January 20th, 2009 in Denver.
Starting his speech with thanking the people whom he owes for what he is today. And talked about what he believes, “set his country apart” and that is that through hard work and sacrifice each of us can pursue our individual dreams but still are together as one America Family. And that he believes is the reason why he is standing there tonight.

He criticized the tenure of the George Bush’s Presidency by saying that “we love this country too much to make our countries next 4 years to look the same as the last 8”. He then commented on McCain’s statement, another US Presidency elect, which said that George Bush was right 90% of the time, saying that we are not ready to take a 10% chance on change. He also said that, he doesn’t think that McCain doesn’t care what’s going on in an American’s life but he just doesn’t know. Barack Obama re-instated the fact that we are not here to make rich richer and poor poorer, rather we are here to see that everyone has a job, courage to start a business when an idea struck and not to count the wealth of the already billionaires and to worry about the fortune 500’s list.

To build an economy which honors the dignity of work? Talking about the hard-ships that his mother had undergone to complete her own degree and to make his children undergo the college education. People who have hard-shipped through tough times he believes are his heroes. He believed, his major contributions will be for building his country and not towards destroying others.

He then promised and to eliminate the capital gain taxes on the start-ups which create high wage jobs and high tech tomorrows. Then Barack Obama made a few more promises on how he intends to change the course of action of America and people just applauded on their presidential elect just like a few years back, that they did for George Bush but still a hope for a better tomorrow prevails with a greater force.

    Barack Obama is a wind of change for the US and also points to the tolerant nature of the society here. His opponent in the Presidential race Hillary Clinton has been nominated as the Secretary of State. There is a chinese- american in his cabinet. Also he has appointed an Indian doctor as his sergeon. I hope the Indian politicians takes come cues from this democracy.
