Barack Obama A New Beginning



 With his figurative speech, President Obama addressed the Muslims around the world at Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt on the fateful day June 4, 2009. He went ahead to call for a new relationship between America and the Muslim world, acknowledging the deep divisions between the two defined by mistrust and tension (Ottaway, 2010). Going forward, the president assured Muslims of a cordial relationship full of trust and one aiming to benefit both parties economically and socially.

Bill Clinton I Have Sinned

   Addressing over 100 ministers, clergymen and other religious leaders in the East Room on September 18, 1998, a remorseful Clinton asks for forgiveness from his family, members of staff and American Citizens. He repents for his affair with his secretary Monica Lewinski. The speech has faced backlash from many over the years but as he put it,” Integrity is important and selfishness is wrong.” (Bennet, 1998). Backed with very heavy facial expressions which clearly showed how sorry the president was, citizens really resonated with him on a human point of view despite the immense backlash.     References Maraniss, D.
