Obama's Inaugural Speech

Speech Communication LA 120
28 January 2013

Obama's inaugural speech I like the fact that president Obama spoke about a lot of views in his speech he defends Social Security, and Medicaid, saying it renews our civil rights. He said we need to show more fairness for children of immigrants and saying over in over “We The People,” were labeled “far-left-of-center wish I heard was another senator who called us that.” we need too continued to persevere in spite our negative comments about our civil rights. He was clean shave he stood up straight and firm the he stated with confidence all his statements. He was alert at all times looking into the people eyes he spoke with integrity and dignity. The president said we aren’t a nation of takers that bye supplementing us with benefits only free us. After listening to the President’s inaugural speech it gave me hope. I felt that the dream of minority people to take initiative for public program was coming true, that a majority of Americans fail to support, from what I been hearing on the news. If the President gave a “liberal” speech ever this was the one showing the nation honesty and backing up his statements. I know the republicans and tea party where piss off, because he gave a speech that motivated the nation to keep pushing for laws they don’t want to past in my opinion.

It was a martin Luther king speech being given again because it had its liberal agendas. Voting was an agenda he want the long line we have to stand on too vote a law be in effect that make it easier. The one about gays being treated equal supporting them treating like humans beings. Another one was the issue of mothers and daughters being given the fair wages they deserve the glass ceiling. last but not least the journey not being completed until we find a better way to welcome striving

    President John F. Kennedy (JFK) is the 35th president of the United States of America. On January 20, 1961, he made his Inaugural Address. In this speech, he addressed his goals for the nation when he says, "we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty." By this means that as a nation, we should meet any needs necessary to maintain the freedom and justice of the people. He uses effective tactics and rhetorical devices, such as anaphora, chiasmus, and asyndeton, to maintain a conversational, yet clear and compelling, tone throughout the speech.…

    Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Inaugural Address was exactly what Americans of the 1930’s needed to hear. To begin, previous to Roosevelt's inauguration Herbert Hoover was the president of the United States. Hoover was considered by many of the time to be the cause of the great depression and the worst president the United States had ever seen. This was largely due to the fact that his republican views, that the government should play a very small part in society and that the American people should be self sufficient, lead him to take very little part in the recovery from the great depression. This caused the people of The united States to believe he was lazy and cared little for the lives of American citizens. Knowing that the people resented Hoover…

    On February 12th, 2013 President Barack Obama gave his state of the union address to the nation, the first of this year and since his re-election. I had mixed feelings about this speech as I go into that in more detail later. I like the general direction of where Obama was trying to go with it but I must say that I did have a few points that I disagreed with that he presented. But some of the major things which I did like was the minimum wage increase and talks about gun control. I am going to just run down some of the main points which I either liked or disliked that Obama states.…

    On the day the United States president-elect gets sworn into office, he/she has to give an inaugural address. The inaugural address is the first thing that the president does after taking the oath and is also one of the last steps of the transition process. This speech is important because the president can discuss the current issues occurring in the nation at the time and summarize the plans they have to fix the nation’s problems in the future. Every four years, the new president delivers an address that is similar, yet different to previous presidents. Each of the presidents has their own unique style of writing while also borrowing certain styles from inaugural speeches prior to their own. Ever since George Washington gave the first inaugural…

    As of Tuesday, January 21, 2009, President Barack Obama has proven to me that it is no longer a theory that I can be whatever I aspire to be. President Obama has the desire to see every individual in this nation succeed, and is charismatic enough to draw people together to achieve this goal by running the country, which is a beneficial need for all of us. Yet, President Obama and his wife Michelle have African ancestors like me. They also look like me, sound like me, and understand my experiences as a black American, and this is the point that I believe many black Americans wanted this nation to understand. This is the first time in my life that I feel like an American, and am proud to be an American.…

    A good leader is someone who constantly is honest with the people who he or she is surrounded by. A leader who is educated is able to evaluate other people's skills to have the ability to achieve their ideal goals.
