"歐巴馬在華盛頓宣誓就職"

這位美國總統對美國的可能性充滿期望。

代表歐巴馬總統第二個任期正式展開的宣誓就職儀式於1月21號舉行。在就職演說中，他呼籲美國民眾「把握這一刻」，並表示「我們的旅程還未結束」。數十萬民眾到場，觀看現年51歲的總統，在首席大法官約翰．羅伯茲見證下宣誓就職。

歐巴馬發表一篇字斟句酌、振奮人心的演說，他提到國家已渡過難關，準備好迎接更美好的時代。他表示：「這一代的美國人已經歷過危機的考驗，強化了我們的決心，證明我們的復元能力。十年的戰爭即將結束，經濟已開始復甦，美國有無窮的可能性。」

他提到重大議題，例如槍枝管制、同志權利、還有氣候變遷，但他重點在於美國人必須同心協力，達成對國家最有利的結果。提到貧富差距日漸擴大的問題時，他表示：「我們人民瞭解，當只有少數人非常富有，而越來越多人僅能糊口時，國家不會成功」。

(Politics) Obama Inaugurated in Washington

The US President was upbeat about Americas potential.

The inauguration ceremony marking the start of Barack Obamas second term as US president was held on January 21. In his speech, he called on the American people to seize the moment and said that our journey is not complete. Hundreds of thousands of people turned out to see the 51-year-old leader get sworn into office by Chief Justice John Roberts.

Obama gave a carefully worded and rousing speech in which he suggested that the nation has turned a corner and is set for better times. This generation of Americans, he said, has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. Americas possibilities are limitless.

He mentioned key issues such as gun control, gay rights, and climate change, but his main point was that Americans will have to work together to achieve the best things for the country. In a reference to the growing wealth gap, he said: We, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.
