President Barak Obama aka 44th president of the United States of America

I watched it - say - I watched it live on CNN how Mr. Barak Obama sworn in as 44th president of the United States of America - wow!

I hoped it is a solemn ceremony but it is indeed a ceremony of celebrity type - you know those with screaming, singing, music etc., type - anyways it is an 'American style coronation' - so its that!

It was closing midnight here and I kept watching ... I think most of the earthlings watched it :) - may be heavens too - possible?

Entire world watched while CJ of USA jammed the most important words - lol - but you can't help it :)

US CJ must've tried to speak it out as if it is his everyday office thing - but Mr. Obama must've had it by-hearted and there you go, fumbled! - Murphy's law! - you can't help it.

And there came the second most important thing - the inaugural speech - I think its the most important thing - since they said, even if he is not sworn in by noon, he'll anyway be the president! - but the speech, he must. And that is also his abstract plan for the next 4 years.


I, over the year followed his speeches in Youtube and found very inspirational, warm and contextual. And did always believe that his inaugural speech may not be that electric - and need not be - he do not want win a campaign now - it's ruling time!. So the speech outlined the administration. Everything looked good - a speech of a president - but some; made me think - there you go! - I am the president of America, I can declare war! - I have a army - I can fight - is it?

I quote,
We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort — even greater co-operation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the spectre of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defence, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.
Hehee ... I goto fight, if I want and if situation demands - is it?

I believed that para would have been;
We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort — even greater co-operation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the spectre of a warming planet. We will spend whatever we can to find a cure for the AIDS, cancer and those life threatening diseases, nor will we waver the researches to find stem cell treatments, and for those who seek to advance this aims by inducing new methods of technology and research, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you!, we will find the cure and treatment first and dispense to those who need it!
-- nice ?
Which president is going to do 'that' speech. Nobody - right?

Okay, lets hope Mr. Barak Obama meant what I meant here;
To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.
... Time will tell.

You should have done.written a speech for him during the campaign. I certain your ideas would been incorporated to his inauguration speech. At least one comma of it... You would have made us proud.
