Houve muitos que ousaram dizer que o discurso inaugural de Barack Obama no dia da tomada de posse foi pura e simplesmente banal!

Banal??? Foi o discurso mais consistente e politicamente realista e correcto que alguma vez ouvi! Sem falsos realismos apelou à unidade de todos e esteve sempre dentro daquilo que prometeu ao longo da toda a campanha. Por isso, God Bless You ...Yes You CAN!

"For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace."
