During his Inaugural Address he states he is ready to assist and defend any nations in need and won’t back down from any threats that may face the nation. Kennedy also suggest at the same time he is ready to negotiate and come to terms with those opposing nations. His main points of his speech were to restore American Prestige and to show dominance worldwide. My opinions on this speech are mixed, Kennedy did a great job and undoubtedly one of the greatest Inaugural Addresses of US history, but he set the bar high, he talked about big ticket items that made it seem like he wasn’t afraid to police the globe. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address was strong and had many strong views.

24 The Nation.

The Journey to the White House: Barack Obama Whenever a new president of the United States is elected, history is made. But never has it been made so dramatically as it was on November 4, 2008, when American’s voters chose Barack Obama as our 44th president. With his election into the White House, Obama defeated much apprehension by becoming the first African American president of the nation. So how does a man become the leader of one of the most powerful nations on earth and break all odds along the way? Barack Obama explains with the following quote: “If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress” (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors /b/barack_obama_2.html).

He tried to save Aminata from Appleby and he swore he tried to buy her baby too but Appleby didn’t want that to happen. I honestly think his intensions are good, but the people around him are not.
Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States, until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led the country through the American Civil War, ended slavery, and promoted economic modernization.

Although Lincoln is most remembered for what he has done, He was also a loving husband and father of four children. Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809.
He lays everything down in front of them to see. This kind of honesty and sincerity that he shows to the people is a new form of persuasion. Nixon’s persuasion skills made this speech a successful one, which has stuck with people even today. He used his words effectively, and did the job of refuting most if not all of the questions presenting themselves because of the funds that were donated. His final thoughts that he leaves with the people reinforce his main points, and put his full support behind his decisions and his running mate Eisenhower.
As 1964 began, America was in the middle of an election year. The previous President was Lyndon B. Johnson, who had assumed the office after John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

We can't express enough thanks to those who have died and have fought so that we might live and so that others might live. The soldiers that have died have given all they could give for this country and it is very hard if not impossible to fully express the gratitude that should be given to them and their families. They are the ones who concentrated the ground so far beyond our power by giving their lives for their country. Although Lincoln was wrong when he said "The world will little note what we say here." We remember his words that what the soldiers did by giving their lives so that this country might be free today and tomorrow.
