Chapter 3: My Fellow Americans...

NOTE: This chapter will be the full inauguration address

"My fellow American, for more than 100 years we gathered on this sacred square to witness, the peaceful transition of power, the enduring strength of our constitution, we reaffirm our promise for democracy and the sanctity of our Republic. We recall the idea that binds us as a nation, not because of race, the color of our skin, religion or origins of our blood" 

Peter paused for a little to take a breath the cold January wind, fogged his breath and seared his face, but his spirit did not waver, all eyes around the world were now focused solely on the new President, for the crowds on the national mall, the cold was barely effecting them from witnessing their charming Commander and chief.

"What makes us Unique and Exceptional is what makes us all American, our allegiance to the idea that was articulated by our founding fathers in our constitution more than two centuries ago, 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' " 

Television and media around the world focus on the speech now more than half of currently active Television are Focusing on the passionate speech of Peter van Nassau.

"Today we continue to Pursue and expand those ideas with the realities of the present time, For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they've never been self-serving, that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be guarded by His people here on Earth."

"The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a Few. They gave to us The republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to Guard our founding Promise. And for more than two hundred years, we have endured all trials and tribulations threatening that promise"

 the crowd started to applause, and the first part of his speech resonated deeply with the people.

"Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that This United States founded on the principles of liberty could survive Divided Between The free and the Owned. We made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together regardless of the color of our skin, but solely by the contents of our character". 

 "Together, we determined that a modern economy requires Cooperation between workers and job makers, the continuous prosperity and quality of our workers as well as ensuring Happiness of all Americans."

"Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition, fair play, and accountability from the suits in charge." 

 "Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life's worst hazards and misfortune." 

Peter paused to let his words sink in and to take a breather, the crowd continued to cheer him with fervor. 

 

"Through it all, we have never forgotten our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the Naïvity that all society's ills can be cured through government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work, personal responsibility, and Helping others in the name of Goodwill. these are constants in our character."

"But we have always understood that when times change, so must do we, that fidelity to our founding principles requires Brand new solutions to new Challenges, that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires Positive action. The American people can no more meet the demands of today's world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we'll need to equip our children for the future and build roads and networks that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation one people, one union!" 

Never once did the crowd stop focusing on the president, his raw charisma and fresh demeanor, became eye candy for the masses who were much used to the stiffness of the older American politician.

"This generation of Americans has been tested by challenges that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America's possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands youth and drive Unity and openness an endless capacity for risk, and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it so long as we seize it together as one, not Black or white, blue or Red but as a united American." 

"For us, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe that America's prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their duty when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else because she is an American; she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own." 

The hardship endured by all Americans who were still reeling over the 2008 financial crisis that happened barely 6 months ago was still fresh in the heads and hearts of all Americans, no one regardless of differences didn't get affected by the financial crisis, some are still trying to recover their lost savings and overdue mortgage, Peter wanted to fix this problem as soon as possible for now he gave them some hope that things will be better.

 

"We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of present times and the future. So we must harness new ideas and technology to Upgrade our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. But while the means will change, our purpose endures a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American. That is what this moment requires. That is what will give real meaning and action to our promise." 

 

"We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. For we remember the lessons of our past when twilight years were spent in poverty and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn." 

 

"We do not believe that in this country freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us at any time may face a job loss, a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other through Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative, they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers, they free us to take the risks that make this country great."

"We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms." 

 

"The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition, we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries, we must claim its promise. That's how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure our forests and waterways, our crop lands and snow-capped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God. That's what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared."

 

"We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war. Our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. Our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that is paid for liberty. The knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us harm. But we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war who turned sworn enemies into the surest of friends and we must carry those lessons into this time as well."

 

"We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law. We will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully not because we are naïve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear."

 

"America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe. And we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crises abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation. We will support democracy from Asia to Africa, from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom. We must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the victims of prejudice not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes, tolerance and opportunity, human dignity and justice." 

 

"We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths that all of us are created equal is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth."

 

"It is now our generation's task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts Our journey is not complete until all Americans enjoy the same prosperity and happiness and equal opportunity as our forebearers envisioned" 

"as a land of opportunity until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia, to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for and cherished and always safe from harm." 

 

"That is our generation's task to make these words, these rights, these values of life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness real for every American. Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life. It does not mean we all define liberty in exactly the same way or follow the same precise path to happiness. Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time, but it does require us to act in our time." 

 

"For now decisions are upon us and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. We must act, knowing that today's victories will be only partial and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years 40 years, and 400 years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare Philadelphia hall."

 

"My fellow Americans, the oath I have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this Capitol, was an oath to God and country, not party or faction. And we must faithfully execute that pledge during the duration of our service. But the words I spoke today are not so different from the oath that is taken each time a soldier signs up for duty. My oath is not so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that waves above and that fills our hearts with pride." 

 

"They are the words of citizens and they represent our greatest hope. You and I, as citizens, have the power to set this country's course. You and I, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time not only with the votes we cast but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals" 

"Let us, each of us, now embrace with solemn duty and awesome joy what is our lasting birthright. With common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom." 

 

"Thank you. God bless us all, and may He forever bless these United States of America."

The speech ended as the cheer of the crowds on the national mall and around the country sounded in unison impressed and bewitched by the young president's passionate speech, once again Hail to the Chief was played again the band of the Marines, Peter pumped his fist and wave to the crowd, burning the image in his memory, so that he will always find the motivation to serve the people no matter how hard it would get, after some candid photo peter gave a wink to a nearby camera, and turn around, his next stop will be the icon of all American presidency, the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, The White House the place where he will call his home and office for the next 4 years, and then hopefully another 4 after.

9 hours later, 10,000+ km away from Washington DC, In a small Japanese town Named Kuoh, in a dark room filled with occultist knick-knacks and furniture that was way out of date, a group of students was watching the inauguration of the new American president, particularly the gorgeous lady with long flowing red hair and sapphire blue eyes, as if entrance the fan girl place 100% of her focus on the screen, making her underlings worried for her mental health.
