Inauguration Speech

"Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet."

1. Why did you choose this section?

I choose it because it addresses the main issue that is at hand. It shows people his main importance is the people and that he wants things to get back to the way they want it to. He wants people to know that he is for the people and whatever he does it’s for him.

2. How do Obama's words relate to the everyday life that you know and understand?

Obama’s words relate to everyday life because he talks about things that people worry about every day and affect the average people that live in America. He says things that relate to people and affect everyone rather than just people who have lots of money or big corporations.
