In his speech, President Obama celebrated with the newest generation known as Millenials; people born between 1982-2003. He described this group as being the most politically active in recent recent years. He also decribed the future of our country entering the next "civic" era. He said he depends on the American people to bring forth a positive change for our country. According to President Obama, “it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies.”

When Obama took his oath he said, “That I will execute the office of president to the United States faithfully.” The word “faithfully” is supposed to be said between “will” and “execute.” What they did about that is they made him say the oath again, the day after the Inauguration in the afternoon. Chief Justice Roberts was the one to say the oath again to him as he did it the day before. At the Inauguration, there was millions of people to wittness his oath of office but att his "Take 2" there was only nine people to wittness it. Four aides, four reporters and the White House photographer. This time he did it right!

I think this was a very historical day. I wittnessed the first African American as president to prove that everyone is free! I still don't get exactly everything he said in his speech but, I know that he was determined to change and make sure this country stays on track. He is someone to look up to and he is a great man. Lets just see how he does as the 44th President of the United States.
