Obama's Speech

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/22/us/politics/obamas-speech-is-urgent-call-for-progressive-values.html?_r=0

As I read this article I began to get these flashbacks Obama's first inauguration speech. I remember how he explained his solutions for the problems that he inherited  I remember how he the nation was on edge and clung to every word he said. I feel that in his first inauguration Obama had the weight of the issues he inherited from bush on his shoulders, but now he's telling us what he really wants to focus on. I think that because this was Obama's final inauguration speech he really wanted to make sure that he left a big impression in Washington and prove o the American people that he was the right choice. Obama's speech really showed us that Obama is no longer tied down to the ideals of his party and because there is no immediate problem that we must deal with, Obama was really able to get the fact that he has a lot of things (more gay rights, gun control, etc.)  that he wants to work on, across through his speech.

What do you guys think about his speech? Do you think that Obama will be able to pull through with his promises?

  1. I think that's true, Obama isn't worried about his party simply because he doesn't have to worry about reelection 2016. He has things he WANTS to focus on, but let's be real, he can't focus on new stuff without fixing the old problems first. He can't accomplish anything that has to do with spending if our budget is already at its COMPLETE MAX !
