One man's show: Obama's inauguration ceremony
United States future president, Barack Obama offered Americans a show they will never forget. In his speech before the 4 hours show at the Lincoln Memorial, Obama declared that „In the course of our history, only a handful of generations have been asked to confront challenges as serious as the ones we face right now. I stand here today as hopeful as ever that the United States of America will endure,” Obama said.
Obama’s speech was followed by a set of free concerts by U2, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Usher, Mary J Blige and Sheryl Crow. Moreover, several actors like Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks interpreted historic plays.
