Overall Proposal and Argument

Main Argument:

Barack Obama used both myth, and harsh reality, as the emotional back drop of his inauguration speech. Obama was realistic and grounded in his opinions about the future of the middle east, and the involvement of the United States in that future. In this way, Obama used far less myth and nation-imaging than did his predecessor in addressing that particular problem. However in his thoughts on the economic crisis we are currently enduring, I found him to be more spiritual and less direct in his plan for improvement. All in all Obama found a functioning mix of flash and substance to motivate a nation to do well; and to do good.
