Summary
“No one should think that what is happening today is a mere change of guard: it is a fundamental change in the politics of our country. In Africa, we have seen so many changes that change, as such, is nothing short of mere turmoil,” the President said in 1896.

Having been a resident of Washington for 10 years, I was privileged to witness three presidential inaugurations. Despite the fact that the ceremonies were for representatives of different political parties, and the fact that one was a reelection, the same excitement permeated the air for each of them.
I think that’s because inaugurations speak to our innate need to start over from time to time, to express new hopes and fears, to realign our priorities and make sure the path we’re walking on is the right one. We relish the opportunity to turn the page and gaze upon a blank one that’s wide open with possibility.
and the language, yes, i think it harkened back to his convention speech and sometimes i do think his rhetoric don t match the reality. we do know wages are going up, and crime going down. i do think that donald trump actually went out of his way in his speech not to mention hillary clinton for a good reason not a bad reason. i think sometimes in your inauguration speeches you mention your opponents to give them grace and round of applause, but i think if he would have mentioned hillary clinton s name then the crowds would have cascaded boos and chants. think hillary clintonas very graceful and hp remind people she exhibited the strength that she s about. we re going to take a short break and be right back.
