President Elect Obama Speech Story

November 11, 2010

 By Trevan J. Hannahs

When Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito shook the hand of President Barack Obama at Capitol Hill on Tuesday, a new form of political power resonated throughout Washington, D.C.

As President Barack Obama overlooked a crowd of thousands and delivered one of the most profound inauguration speeches in American history, the words flowed from his lips without flaw.

No longer would Americans look at the hindrances of previous political policies such as:

A war in Iraq, a struggling economy, expensive health care, and failing opportunities for children along with adults in schools but, a reshaping of America and a overall peace between filled countries filled with hate.

“Starting today, we must pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off, and begin the work of remaking America,” said President Obama.

During his inauguration speech, President Elect Obama made it clear to the American People there was a large task ahead with each political issue facing our government.  He said the task was not impossible and would be done.

“For everywhere we look there is work to be done.  The state of economy calls for action bold and swift… we will restore science to its rightful place.  And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.  All this we can do.  All this we must do,” said President Obama.

President Barack Obama was elected as the 44^th President of the United States.  History has been re- written due to the fact President Obama is the first African American elected President.
