The Presidential Inauguration this year is a legacy to begin on January 20th 2009. President Barack Obama is the newest executive branch member of the United States government. Preceding our 43rd President George W. Bush as he leaves the scene, after a double run in office. Being that Barack is the nation’s first African American elected president had such a historical impression upon fellow Americans that day. This is a mass publicized event that will hold its threshold in time for the United States and the world. Following viewers would have the chance of a life time to witness the making of history. On a non-flea market day amongst the Washington Mall stood almost 2 million gathering the two mile long park of Washington’s District of Columbia. The live broadcast was conclusive with the event with much celebration. As President Obama was introduced, gave his speech, and sworn in under oath as the nation’s 44th President of the United States of America it was a time of happiness, change and a new era.
“My Fellow Citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors” these were the first words spoken by the president on his day. Barack was compared in the papers to former Presidents Lincoln, Washington, Roosevelt, Hoover and a few other presidents in times of crisis. We are yet to see if the 44th President will become a legend, only time can tell.
A day after Martin Luther King’s Birthday became a dream come true. No matter color, race, ethnicity we all knew what it is to be an American that day. The new presidency has a lot of hope for fellow Americans. “Change” is good, was the slogan used for Barack’s campaign. Being our economical status at the moment, everyone is hoping to change for the better in the constantly changing world. A greener earth, more peaceful world and stronger America is the focus for Obama.
An extremely long road with many trials and tribulations were put fourth along with rumors of Barack having terrorist relations in the tabloids. This being the most extreme case he endured during his campaign. The media can be very influential in assisting people for making a vote. Even the less visual media of radio listeners were forced to hear of Barack’s win, news updates and of course Change is good. News papers and periodicals have their own personal opinions. I feel writers or papers with republican viewpoints were jealous of letting a democrat into the White House. Even live broadcast news reporters made snide remarks knowing of the elephants defeat, allowing a donkey to shine. There have been only a handful of democratic presidents elected.
Everyone on Monday was waiting for Bush to finally leave the office. Especially, if you are against the war in Iraq. I thought it was humorous how protesters threw their sneakers at the capitol gate in an anti-war protest, copying the Baghdad journalist. Now being a president of our country is a huge task but your life is always on the line. I stumbled across this bullet proof clothing, by my surprise I did not even know existed. These pricey pieces can be found and bought from our fellow Colombian Designers. However it is only $7,500 for a polo shirt. The president has an entire bullet proof suite which he wore on commencement day. Found Here.
Inspiring writers were given an opportunity to see the commencement of our 44th President. There was a essay writing competitions held for the winner to get a free ticket along with hotel accommodations for Tuesday, January 20th 2009’s Inauguration. The question for one of the Essay’s was “what does this commencement mean to you?”
President Barack Obama main focus is the bailout plan of the United States. I feel there is a lot of good to unfold in his legacy. Being a member of the Democratic Party he has more liberal views that go along with the current times. Unlike the majority of republican presidents whom prefer to view American life in the old fashioned way. Americans shall wait and see what is to become of our nation in the four years to come. All that we can do is stand together as one to become a stronger country for the better of our future.
