I am not sure how many of you have seen this or can even tell what this is a picture of. Well I will give you a hint it was from January 21, 2009. If you don’t know by now it was the day of President Barrack Obama’s Inauguration. All of those spots that look like tiny ants, are mobs of people attending this historic day. Now I do have to say that I am not the biggest fan of the President but I can say I know when I see history happening and a change that will be remembered.
I am not sure whether this crowd is there just because he is the first African-American President or whether it is because they think he will make a serious change in the United States. I would have to say there were both and probably some hoping to see him fail. I am not sure what I really expect from him I know it is not failure, I hope to see a change. What he is trying to do with things such as health care can be revolutionary in this country, and what he has done to try and fix the economy looks like if it succeeds it could be great for this country as well. Although these are also things that are on a cycle and trying to fix them in certain ways like he is trying could make it worse in the short run and the long run giving us a shorter period of time in between where things are good.
All in all what is going on is revolutionary itself, the country came together as one to elect a person that would almost anytime before been taken of the contest very early. This really shows how far this country has come in the last 50 years alone, back when Martin Luther King Jr. was fighting for equal rights. Just makes me think that if the whole country pulled together to do this imagine what greater things we could do if we focused on other more important things, such as, energy crises that we have been having. It is just a start that we have hit right now, but there could be many greater things to come. In all this has been started by one man that managed to bring a country together for the most part by just being elected by the people itself.

Hey! I just wanted to compliment on your blog. I liked how you maintained a positive attidude about the things that president Barack Obama has been managing situations like that of the health care system and other major issues. You gave your opinion about certain things you might be iffy about, but you didn't make it sound as if you had a problem with how the president was handling situations, you always had a positive outlook on everything, even when you were thinking twice about how he's doing things, if you know what i mean. It's nice to know that there are still people, who care enough to make the world a better place, I couldn't agree more with you when you said, " if the whole country pulled together to make things greater," I mean your not the only one who think's like that. That has ran through my head thousands of times as well. I say we just take over and make this work, lol! what do you think? We still have greater things coming our way, maybe with a little trouble, but we can manage to handle a little more, i mean we have for too long, so lets not lose hope on that! :)
Your blog was very interesting to read. I want to start off with what I thought in the beginning. I liked how your first couple sentences gives anticipation to the reader. I really wanted to see what the picture was about because I had absolutely no clue. The ironic part of all this was that I attended the Inauguration and I am one of those tiny dots. I wasn’t able to figure out the picture until you explained it in your opening paragraph. You asked about why people went to see the Inauguration. From a perspective of someone who went to Obama’s Inauguration, I attended it unknowingly. Meaning, I signed up to go to the Inauguration even before the November 2009 Election Day. If McCain had won, I would have still attended it to support our President. I went because I wanted to have the experience of being in an environment of patriotic people to witness the swearing in of our President. I agree with how you explained how far we have advanced since Martin Luther King Jr.’s time. It is just so amazing how we have progressed to a society where it was only imagined two hundred years ago. I am anxious to see what the future will bring us and how we will pull together as a nation for another great change. I really liked your insights. Great Work.
