a. Comparison of Obama‟s First and Second Address

The analysis is taken for both inaugural addresses. So that it is important to see how the second address is different from the first one. The differences are mostly in the presented ideologies. They can be seen in the table below. Table 4.3. Discourses as Social Practices Comparison from Both Addresses Social Practice Value 1 st Address 2 nd Address Remaking America Nationalism, American Creed, Patriotism and Self- help, Action and Responsibility, Time and Change Nationalism, American Creed, Patriotism and Self- help, Action and Responsibility, Time and Change, Pluralism, Democracy, Liberalism, Collectivism, Optimism, Equality and Utilitarianism Rebuilding Economy Action and Responsibility, Time and Change, Optimism American Creed, Action and Responsibility, Liberalism, Collectivism, Optimism, Equality and Utilitarianism Handling Political Affair Time and Change, Action and Responsibility, Nationalism, Pluralism, Equality and Utilitarianism Optimism, Liberalism, Action and Responsibility, Democracy, American Creed Coping with Energy and Environmental Issues - Action and Responsibility, American Creed, Optimism His typical address in both inaugural addresses is not so different which is crossing party lines, transcending ideological differences, and uniting the country. In the 2009 inaugural, he recites more on the major rhetoric of American Struggles. In the 2013, he passes references to the ongoing crisis in the U.S. and the need of further federal investment to stimulate new growth. He also covers up the approaching international crisis from Syria to Iraq and North Africa. He focuses instead on general principle for engagement such as the support of international alliance and to the promotion of democracy. Seen from the table, the values are more salient in the second address. It can be said that Obama has given more attention to the importance of making those values delivered by the address. The writer would argue that he is in the need of more support for resuming his governance in the second term. The second address is proof that the president plan to promote a liberal agenda. He uses the opportunity in the second inaugural address to tell his own story of America and he is about to expand the rights.
