“The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.”
I choose this section of Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address because it reminds me of how we’re all in this together. I think that we as the people of America have to work together to get through the hard times. I also think that this part of Obama’s speech refers strongly to the past, as the problems that we have faced as a country, and to the present as to how we’re going to face problems together as a country. I think that Obama’s words relate to everyday life because we need to remember that we are one as a country and we all have a small part in making the country the way that it is.
