Inauguration of Obama


The inauguration of Barrack Obama on January 20th will mark historic event in which the first African American President will take office in the white house. His speech after being sworn in promises to be a good one, with experts expecting comparisons between Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. Clark S. Judge, a speech writer for former President Ronald Reagan, stresses the importance of bringing peoples attention to the present, the moment. Obama he says, must make the immediate problems evident and clear to the millions of Americans watching. The problems we face today, such as the economy and the War in Iraq, are to demanding to be left in the past. “Inaugural addresses must at some point turn from the timeless to the immediate.”
