96, XXVI, a The values mentioned are honesty and hard work, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism. The belief is the truth that requires responsibility . Thus, all citizens hold their responsibility to the society and the country by not satisfying the spirit of few people but to put themselves fully to serve the country.52. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility -- a
recognition on the part of every American that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world; duties that we do not grudgingly accept, but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character than giving our all to a difficult task. 99, XXVII, a The purpose of infusing these values is off course to touch the mindset of the people to share the belief and later will influence the future actions that will contribute to the program planned by the government. He attributes these values to the characterization of American. In the last fourth paragraphs, Obama closes the address by connecting the values to the liberty which is the ideology of America. For him, it can be gained only by manifesting the values into action. Therefore, today‘s generation of America can endure the same struggle with their ancestors and meet the common purpose.52. This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed, why men and women

Let it be said by our childrens children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and Gods grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations. 112, XXI, a Therefore, the people should bear and keep this belief as purpose and way of life. Thus, Obama‘s main concerns in this political address and in his first term leading America is about to remake America by rebuilding the economy and resolving the international affairs.2. Discourses in the Second Inaugural Address
Obama won the election for the second time and continues to work on his second term leading America. The inaugural ceremony was held for him in 2013. This part will discuss the content delivered in the second inaugural address. Following the first plot analysis, the discussion will cover the implied messages addressed by Obama as a President in U.S.A. Different from the former inaugural address, Obama blends some additional values in order to gain more support for his term and also to justify the efficacy of his on-going programs. The main theme is still about Remaking America based on the Ideology and its national creed. However, he speaks more about the need of collective action and sets the point of the importance of time in responding the existing issues. His attempt to directParts
