Inauguration

There is no question that the inauguration of President Obama is a landmark in this nation's history, and that the swearing in of the first African American commander of chief will literally change the face of the United States forever. His approval rating is above and beyond any other President elect, so there is no doubt that the majority of the country is behind him and that there are an unfounded amount of sincere emotions running through the hearts and minds of people who have supported Obama during the arduous and demanding campaign. However, I think that this particular inauguration is shaping out to be too much of a party, when it should be a focus on duty and the rising challenges for the newly elected President during the current economic and military crisis. Obama has given people hope that change is possible within this country, but in the process people seem to have disenfranchised themselves so much that they are not properly dealing with the difficulties this nation faces.
