Firsts there were the fears where at the start of his inaugural speech, the 46th US President Barack Obama’s voice trembled and struggled a bit more patently that even the crowd, which was so much rambunctious and celebratory just earlier on, had felt an uneasy silence, perhaps reminded all too suddenly that amidst the pomposity and festivity of what could have been the biggest and most spectacular inauguration rites for an America president ever, a heavy gloom is cast all over the sky over America. The caustic financial crisis that had befallen the Homeland is one of such gloomy scenarios plus the overly-problematic US engagements in Iraq and other parts of the world.
I thought then that President Obama had lost so much sleep that he had forgotten that at that event, America should be well glad that he is president and not being wary at all. But then, he redeemed himself as the rest of his speech spoke about hopes and “challenges being met” and leading the nation “to lead once more” in the international scene, perhaps he means in a different direction than what Former President George W. Bush had taken.
President Barack Obama’s speech was so superb overall that I see it as the best speech ever made by a U.S. President after the Kennedy Era, and in the words that contained in it, he showed so much spunk and intelligence that it is clear, President Obama is president now because he is a man, he is one man who has so much gray matters between his ears, one who knows what he is talking about, and one who knows where he is going to go.
To President Barack Obama, congratulations.
