The second inauguration

 The Second inauguration are never as hopeful as first ones, Obama's second may not be quite like his first inauguration, yet an crowd of over a million turned out to witness him take the oath for a second time as US President.The huge crowd that crossed a million mark took many organisers by surprise, and is indicative that Obama still enjoys much of the popularity he had at the beginning of his first term. Watching the second inauguration of President Obama a week ago, I was shocked by the weight of our history in that moment. Our first African-American president, affirmed by a majority of voters, was given the opportunity to continue his work: He was judged, on the birthdate of Martin Luther King, Jr., on his abilities, and on the content of his character. Also, on How far we have come as a nation and a our culture. It reminded me of how long it took us all to get this far, to inhance our thinking and feelings about other people.    The first inauguration was so historic, with so much pageantry and so many people with so much hope. This is because the idea was that Bush's wars would end and the economy would boom, as it always seems to do under Democrats.
