GREAT WORDS ON SOME INAUGURATION DAYS

(We found the following in Star Ledger's Parade Magazine very interesting published on Jan.18,2009 and thanks to Star Ledger,our New Jersey Newspaper: Written By Mr. David M.Shribman, who is Executive Editor of the Pittsburg Post-Gazette, won the Pulitzer Prize for his writing on American Political culture)
Abraham Lincoln used the inauguration day to say,"the better angels of our nature."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt to warn Americans that," the only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
John F. Kennedy urged Americans to "ask what you can do for your Country"
George H.W.Bush promised in 1989, "to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world"
Bill Clinton told" Today we celebrate the mystery of American renewal"
FDR challenged the Country's principles in 1937 by saying, " I see one third of a nation ill-housed,ill-clad,ill-nourished"
JFK in his address in 1961,"With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessings and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own"
Abraham Lincoln also spoke with a plea ,"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection"

Our New President Barack Obama has said, during his inaugural address "Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America." He found that some ideological gulf and individual rivalries that divide Democrats and Republicans which delays the immigration , health and Pension programs. He said, "On this day we come to proclaim an end to petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas that far too long have strangles our politics. We are a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to put aside childish things.... the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply."
" The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works .....Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answere is no, programs will end."( published in Star Ledger's editorial)
Now we can all rejoice that we have great messages and sure to see the rays of hope and we should always move forward boldly, shattering the fears which will bring us to our goal and we are sure that we will soon see the dawn of the beginning of a GREAT NEW WORLD.
