Obama's Speech: Troubleling or Reassuring?


Yesterday, history was made in Washington. The first Hawaiin president was sworn into office. (Oh yeah, he's black too.) Anyway, his name was Barrack Obama. He was sworn into office and then gave the inaugural adress. But just because he gave a speech does not mean the viewers liked it or disliked it.
The first article I found had a negative stand point. They believed that with all of Barrack's talk of change, he had let the market fall. As it says, " Obama's Mountain of hope produced a disappointing and fearful mouse! Wall Street dropped more than 300 points because they saw no hope for real Change! Even after Obama got his wall Street 350 750 billions of "giveaway" Bail-out money, more in TARP money, and promised them 1. 3 trillion dollars of extra expenditure for road, bridges, infrastructures and Green Jobs to nowhere. As he was speaking instead of hope they saw despair and dumped their stocks because any one with economic 101 knows that borrowing from China to buy Chinese and Mexican industrial products and filling Wal-Mart with cheap goods at the expense of American jobs would lead to 13 trillion Dollars National Debt by the end of 2009, that in combination of budget deficit, Balance of Trade deficit would bring this great nation to is knees."

Even though some citizens were unatisfied with Obama's speech, some were overjoyed by his new plans for America. The next article I found is suggesting that Obama was a brave soul for running for president. They also felt that his speech inspired peple to work for a better America. As it says, "Before a sea of people that stretched for over a mile down the Washington Mall, Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States and immediately set about steeling the nation's resolve for more hard days to come. It's a repair job, Obama suggested, that will require a little something from everybody - from Wall Street titans, to government leaders, to everyday Americans already struggling to make ends meet."
