THE PRESIDENCY
President Obama, for obvious ideological reasons, seeks to portray himself in the lineage of Jefferson and Lincoln.Obama addresses the issue of race in a way Lincoln never could by drawing upon his own experiences with racism,especially as child of mixed race who has insight into the attitudes of whites and blacks. His association with political radicals like the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, has also pushed the president to defend the legitimate anger and resentment many African-Americans feel towards a system of government that has, historically speaking, failed to meet their needs and protect their rights as citizens
My understanding about Obama’s Presidential Inauguration speech is that Mr. President Obama broke his promises of taking care of U.S citizens, when he referred to the economic situations but unfortunately, these economic situations were getting worse after he was elected as a President. Also, medical insurance is the worst , that Obama care system is not working for everyone, especially for the lower class. Moreover, the education system is bad because a lot school have been closed. In addition,when he said that we need to treat everybody equal not matter what color skin you have, sadly no one respects each other. Some people still thinking like ignorant in this days.
I chose this passage because President Obama didn’t keep his promises as he said in the speech and a lot people feel disappointed for duties as a President.
