On The Date Of January 20,2017, As We Introduced Our New

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek”(Obama). On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama delivered his first Inauguration speech as the president of the United States. With a motivational tone, Obama adequately emphasizes to U.S citizens on how he will attempt to rebuild America through the effective application of definite allusions, compelling anaphoras, as well as many potent metaphors.

Election night was a night of uncertainty. On November 8, 2016, half of America was left in complete shock when several mainstream media outlets reported Donald Trump as the new president-elect. Everyone wanted to know what the future of America would be. Numerous celebrities took to social media to encourage individuals to protest for what is right. Not only did African-Americans protest but so did whites and many other minorities. We fear that he will be very reckless with foreign leaders, enslave black people again, and also continue his rash comments via Twitter. Like many others in my community, I believe that anyone who thinks he is unfit to be president should continue to

First of all, he is building a wall on our southern border to stop illegal immigrants from coming from Mexico. About 59% of illegal immigrants are from Mexico. When illegal immigrants commit a crime, some are deported instead of being sent to prison and if their home country won’t take them back, oftentimes they're released. This allows them to just keep coming back. A woman in San Francisco was killed by an illegal Mexican immigrant that was deported five previous times. The wall will stop these illegal immigrants from crossing the border again after they’re deported. To also stop them from coming back, he wants to double the number of ICE officers. Donald Trump as said “When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting." Most people take this statement as being racist against Mexicans but they are ignorant and uninformed about the lies the media has been telling us. When his speech is shown they cut out the part where he says he is talking about illegal immigrants so it looks like he is just talking about Mexico and Mexican immigrants. The Huffington

This year, President Obama’s State of the Union Address pressured many Americans to take action and to face today’s issues with pride and pure grit. His points showed that the nation is better off today than it has ever been in the past. Our nation’s history began when our founding fathers began the fight to break away from our previous leader’s horrific rule. They knew that the rules needed to be created by the people and for the people, for good only and to support the nation. They knew that breaking and twisting their own rules to better the state of the union was

In 1789, America saw the election of its first President, a man whom Americans could finally claim as their own after years of oppression by Great Britain, George Washington. The election of Washington symbolized the end of a period of confusion for America and the beginning of an unofficial precedent for the next 220 years. After Washington’s term ended, forty-two Caucasian males held the title of the President of the United States of America until January 20, 2009. January 20, 2009 signified the culmination of 220 years of American tradition and the inception of a new era as Barack Hussein Obama assumed office, becoming the first African American in American history to do so. President Obama’s inauguration was also monumental for the African-American community because never before had a black male simultaneously occupied the highest position in the United States government and society. Although President Obama earned the honorary title as President, we should also recognize and honor his many other accomplishments during Black History Month.

In conclusion, the 44th president, Barack Obama, used a progressive tone to persuade his audience that he will continue to make good changes for the people. He does this by reassuring the citizens that we are on the road to

The election of 2008 couldn't have come sooner for many Americans. The United States was coming off one of the worst recessions in the country’s history, and Americans were eager for a change. The incumbent republican president George W. Bush had seen his approval ratings dip to the low 30s (“Presidential Approval Ratings -- George W. Bush”), and democrats could feel a victory was coming. They nominated the young dynamic Illinois senator Barack Obama, a leader who many Americans placed their hope in to change the direction of the country. Obama was a historical candidate, one of the youngest presidents ever. He would also become the first African American president in United States history, perhaps a sign that race relations in this

Obama’s speech “Yes, we can” outlines issues that had faced America and what should and could be done to better the nation he was leading, his speech included congratulations and appreciation not only to those who had helped in his campaign to become president, but those who fought for their beliefs and those who continues to fight

Trump spoke on the topic of immigration when the subject was brought about by a reporter. When handling immigration, he stated that, “We are going to have a wall” (Trump 20:04). Although this appeals to the American individual viewer logically, Mr. Trump has yet to provide a reasonable plan to distribute this action upon Mexico and other states that will be impacted. When thinking of a wall one might believe that idea of a wall itself is defined as keeping things secure and private. Due to the astronomical amount of narcotics smuggled in passed the border; many American voters will view this idea as logical reason that might actually work. Instead, Mr. Trumps “Wall” plan will fail not only the American people but Mexican community will be impacted as well. This plan will fail, due to the enormous amount of money it will cost as well as the amount of lives it will

President Obama will go down in history as an extraordinary president, probably a great one. He will have done this in an era that doesn’t aggrandize leaders and presidents, but shrinks them. All presidents have had profound opposition, vicious enemies and colossal failures. A few were beloved and others deeply respected in their day, but none in the modern era and certainly not

The transition of power has been made and America has never been divided than before. Two leaders of the free world, the forty-fourth and the forty-fifth president of the United States, prove that their stances on society are distances away from each other as they express their thoughts on the importance of Black History Month. Obama took a more comical, hopeful view on the role African Americans play while Trump was more focused, describing the country as a disaster that needs fixing. President Obama’s speech is more powerful because of the elements of tone, diction, details, syntax and strategies that he uses.

When Barack Obama was elected in 2008 his supporters had many high expectations. Here was a man who had just became the first man of color to be elected President of the United States of America, the most powerful nation in the face of the planet and the leader of the free world. Taking on this role was no easy feat as though Obama had inherited the greatest recession the United States had experienced since the Great Depression of the 1930s, millions of Americans were losing their homes. Occupied with this domestic crisis, he did not have much of his time and attention on another mess the Bush administration had left him to fix, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In face of all this turmoil, Obama soothed his people with the motto “Change, we can.” That was the catchphrase and mentality going into his administration. But that was on the only motto his administration had. During Obama’s presidential campaign, he did an easy job at depicting the Republicans as incapable and stupid people. And so Obama’s remedy to fixing problems was “don’t do stupid stuff”, this would later on be used as a doctrine for his foreign policy and United States involvement in the world up until the last days of his second term.

All five of us had to walk back six blocks, in the grim cold. We were shivering and we were all wrapped up in blankets. My arms and legs were numb and my feet were on fire. We trudged through the freezing cold streets of D.C to the subway. We were packed on the train like a herd of sheep. People gazed down on me with my Obama shirt on. That was the best day of my life. I woke up ready to go back to Indiana to tell people about what I’ve experienced. I felt a certain pride in my country I haven’t felt before. I flaunted my experience around school and my pride in my country. While they were watching the inauguration on television, I was actually there. I heard the coarseness in his voice and the solemn look on his face when he addressed the country. I saw the happiness in fellow Americans faces and the distraught look on republican's

So today… it's a big day. Today we were witness to our 45th president taking the “Oath of Office”. Since November 8th, I have reflected on this. I have pondered and searched for answers.

The most touching moment that all True Americans shall remember for a lifetime. The words of our previous leader’s plea for change, it’s no secret the presidency of our 44th President was most promising to many and opposing to others, nevertheless, President Barack Obama never hesitates to demand that it was time for change in America (h, 2017). During, his farewell engagement at McCormick Place in Chicago on January 10, 2017. An emotional event dedicated to honor the nation’s outgoing president, as he bids farewell to supporters, friends and fellow Americans after eight years of service to our great nation. A nation that perceived him as incongruous; that unfortunately, discredited both his character and efforts to bring our United States of America together; those who subsequently, marginalized the words of our founding fathers that he holds dear in his heart that declare "all men are created equal" that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” (U.S. Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776). These words are evident that judgement placed upon any individual is unethical and without cause. That as a free noncommunist country we must refrain these act of inequality.
