The economic crisis surrounding our island and nation has affected our lives making it difficult to live comfortably. Our public structure doesn’t seem to be improving, our children are still lacking adequate education, healthcare costs are rising, etc… We can’t keep our hopes down. The Inauguration of our 44th President of the United States Barrack Obama is just the start of improvements in our economy. Thousands of people were gathered in celebration of this historic event, showing their motivation and hopes that we will have a brighter future ahead of us. President Obama, “The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act — not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.”
