The inauguration speech

Barack Obama's inauguration speech was as impressive as always. He touched the million people who were standing in front of the white house, waiting for their new president to speak out, with his eloquence and ability of raising peoples' hope.
In the great audience almost every nationality was represented.
The importance of this first speech as president of the United States relies on the expactations of the citizens and on prooving that there's no empty promise.

I really liked his speech.maybe it was not his best and it might have been sober but it caught my breath. here i found two nice excerpts:
"Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met. "

"In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. "

It's wonderful to have a president like Obama with his positiv attitude. time shows whether he will keep his pledges or not. I'm looking foreward to his term in office.
