#1)What i think is that this is a historic event because Barack Obama talks about religion, education and also when he says lets make America new. I dont really know
what he means by that but it sounds good.
The other thing is Obama doesint uses "I"
a lot he uses "We" as everybody.
#2)The two things that are important is when Obama preys well actually he doesint its like when he raises his hand and reapets what the dude says. the other thing is He wants everybody to be treated as same. Not being judjed.

1)I think this is an historic event because maybe President Barack Obama will change the way that we are living right now. For example the economical pressure that every family is going through. I think that President Obama has the chance to change our life's. He is making us feel that we are all in this together. Every person is and will be treated the same. I hope President Obama will have to chance to improve in our country.
2)The first issue that he thinks is very important to our nation and the presidency is, to make peace in Iraq because he cares about the thousands of people dieing everyday. The second issue thats important is to be peaceful with other countries and stop the war and the fight thats happing between every president around the world. This important because if you don't have peace around the world the economical situation in every country will get bad which is not good thing for every country.

i think that the police man should have gave the women a tcket, beacauseif he did not give her a ticket the women would do more problems in the car. And also the police man would be fierd from his job if he did not give her a ticket.

1)I think Obama made a historic event for the United State because he is the first black president of the United states of America. And when i heard his speach i relized that he'll change america and make it new.
2) His speach was short like a summery and he explains whats his going to do like how is he going to change and in his speach he doesint use "i" alot but he uses "we" as in everybody.

1.How Was this an historic event? Because Mr Obama made reference to the scale of his achievement at being the first black American elected to the White House, in a remark that gathered one of the biggest cheers of the speech.
2.what 2 things that Mr Obama thinks are important issues in his presidency? He think Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened," he said, blaming the current situation both on the greed of a few and the "collective failure" of many.
And I think he say he will built some building. I think because he want to addressed the world's poor and the Muslim world, much of which angrily opposed the actions of the previous administration.

This important because if you don't have peace around the world the economical situation in every country will get worst day by day, which is not a good thing for every country.The third issue was the energy and how people use it all the time. Some people use energy for stuff that is useless. Wasting a lot of energy is effecting our climate very badly.
I think if people give a chance to Barack Obama, he will succeed in all of the issue's that we are facing.

Obama is important because he said that will change the world by stopping the war. Obama will change the world and that is the first black president.
2) His speech was short like a summery and he explains what’s his going to do, like how is he going to change. In his speech he doesn’t use "I" a lot but he uses "we" as in everybody in the world. He talked about ending the war in Iraq. He also talked about fixing the economy. He talked about finish the war and fixing the economy.

#1)I think this is an historic event because maybe President Barack Obama will change the way that we are living right now. For example the economical pressure that every family is going through in any situations. President Obama has the chance to change our life's. He is making us feel that we are all in this together by saying lets make America new again. Obama says every person black or white will be treated the same no matter how they look like or where they came from.
#2)Barack Obamas speeches are very important to us, to him and it effect our nation. Obama is trying to help people that needs help because theres lots of children, animals and also grownups are dying of sickness everyday. obama will change that and delevire food, clothing everything they need to keep themselves alive. The issue thats happening right now is people are using electricity when they dont even needed. i think obama will change the way that is right now. because going green is very important to the world. And the last thing is theres a war between iraq and what obama would do is he will bring peace to the states and to UsA yep!!!!!

Barack Obama made history in United States of America. he is the first African American president in the USA. Obama wouldn`t be the president if M L K had not given that speech to the world. That made white and black people be the same in this world.Drink out of the same water fountain and children go to the same school.
One thing that Obama does best is not mess up any words and all his doing is smiling thats a good thing to the world it shows that he actually cares about the country.
Another thing thing is that his well dressed for the special equations and he has a bullet prove suit.
Obama need to look up for the electricity. We need more electricity in this country.Most people waist electricity for for no reason. and thats something Obama need to improve on, and one thing i would like for him to do the best is to stop the war in Irak . Bring back the troops and bring more peace to this country, and change everything to the best in this country.

1.Many people have talked about this as being an historic event.
How Was this an historic event? Because Mr.Obama is the first black American to be the president; and he is the first black American elected to the White House, in a remark that gathered one of the biggest cheers of the speech, and he was from Africa; people talked also why Mr.Obama is not going to be the president of Africa and be the president of American?
Then thats why Many people have talked about this.
2.Mr.Obama talked so many important thinks happen to American and how do he fixed it.
In his speech, Mr. Obama think Our nation is at war,the school are fail to many; the health-care "too costly" act. And he say he will try or fix the problems that why American getting weak on it. And I think he say he will built some building. I think because he want to addressed the world's poor and the Muslim world, much of which angrily opposed the actions of the previous administration.
Those are the things that in his speech that I think is important issues for America.
