To me, the most significant segment of his speech was when Obama was talking about even though we are in a bad place, we still have all the good qualities that we had during our times of prosperity. That all we need to do is "pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America." I also think that the statement saying that the world has changed and we need to change with it is completely accurate. We can't expect to solve every problem the same way as before when so much of this world has changed.<BR/><BR/>I think that the key thing that is going to help Obama met his goals is the fact that the world is so encouraging of him. Most places around the world are very positive of Obama and I think that this will allow them to be more willing to work with the U.S. I also think that this election gives so much hope to other countries and shows them how accepting America truly is. The only country that isn't extremely positive is Russia. Overall though, I think that everyone is looking on with an extremely positive view. I personally hope that this view on Obama's election will help us fix many of the problems we face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198543979164814588.post-27943173787422651742009-01-20T14:27:00.000-05:002009-01-20T14:27:00.000-05:00I think the most significant part of the speech wa...I think the most significant part of the speech was when he addressed terrorists by saying "We will defeat you." I think this is a bold statement by Barack Obama and that this shows the confidence and optomism that Barack has in our country. I was surprised to hear the reactions from around the world that I read in an article from bbcnews. The link to the article is http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/obama_inauguration/7839486.stm.

He may know how to create goals, but can he fulfill them? How does he expect to accomplish his goals? All I hear is what he says he is going to do; what about how is is going to do it? If he truly lives up to his expectations, then he will unite the country more than ever before. But if he allows the people of America to get their hopes up just to be let down, then it could put the country in an even worse state than it is now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198543979164814588.post-28563075001193548542009-01-20T14:22:00.000-05:002009-01-20T14:22:00.000-05:00There were many significant and key points in this...There were many significant and key points in this speech. But to me the most important part was getting there people to understand that they will have to work to make this country better and that getting To a common goal Takes time After the motion is in place. Why Do I think so? Because a lot of people are expecting immediate change without giving or putting in the work to get to the goal we all want but few wish to strive for. But nothing will ever happen that way. You have to be willing to give to get anything in return. Sacrifice. He refers back to this concept many times in his speech.<BR/><BR/>“What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.” Barack ObamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198543979164814588.post-50642726193166880382009-01-20T14:15:00.000-05:002009-01-20T14:15:00.000-05:00With about two million people on the mall lawn, an...With about two million people on the mall lawn, an unbelieveable turnout at this inauguration, Barack Obama is truly represented as the voice of the people. I believe that with his leadership, America can be reformed. Obama has a lot to do to fulfill the hopes of many Americans, and this is a tough time to make improvements happen. Even though it most not likely happen immediently with the challenges today, he seems confident that these hard times will transition into a new age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198543979164814588.post-53888752546377728722009-01-20T14:05:00.000-05:002009-01-20T14:05:00.000-05:00I enjoyed Obama"s Inaugural speech.

He is a man who is very likeable and knows just how to please every person in the crowd. He speaks as if he is only a face in the crowd and not their superior. I am sure that his ability to speak well in public accounts for most of his support. I believe that he has great things in store for our country and will try to clean up much of the mess that our nation has created.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198543979164814588.post-3856465266501745172009-01-20T14:04:00.000-05:002009-01-20T14:04:00.000-05:00I'm still surprised how Obama became president.

There was a somber message to his speech, but the way Obama read it made the speech have a hint of hope. We all know the country isn't in the greatest of shapes currently and I think he rightfully acknowledged the issues of our world today in his speech. On the other hand he reviewed his solutions to the issues which gave me hope that in the near future change will occur for the better. Barack Obama seems like a very genuine man who would do anything to uphold his promises to the country.
