Analysis of Obama's First Inauguration Speech

Obama's Inauguration speech was a noteworthy moment that was observed not only by three million people attending the event, but also by people around the world.

His open invite and pledge to be attentive to all ideas serve as an example his longing to deliver a much-needed alliance to Democrats and Republicans. The care and concern he displays towards his wife, Michelle, and his two girls help to place Obama as a devoted family man.
