In his second week of presidency, the 44th president of US, Barack Obama reached out to Muslim world. Barack Obama gave his first interview to a Dubai-based TV, Al-Arabiya. Moreover, his words clarified that he wanted to change America’s view to Muslims.

Obama said, “My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. He continued, “We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”

These interview of US’s new president made clear that their target are Islamic terrorist organizations, not innocent Muslims. By giving the first interview to an Arabic TV and using peaceful words way different from the previous presidents, Barack Obama really gives an undertaking of hope.

Today, a new chapter in American and world history is being opened. The inauguration of US’s 44th president, Barack Obama, excited billions of people around the world; furthermore, I was one of them. Everyone was waiting to witness history and was curious about Obama’s speech. Time passed by, and he finally came on the stage. Firstly, Joe Biden made his speech of oath, and then Obama did. I thought that Obama forgot it because of his excitement when he stopped for a while. Then I realized that the chief made a mistake, and Obama was waiting for him to fix it. He fixed it, and when the oath was ended, Obama went to the rostrum to make his first speech as US’s 44th president. It was an amazing speech because Obama called out to everyone, not only the citizens of US. He called out to people of every religion and every socioeconomic class. By calling out to all the people in the world, Obama gave his first signal that he will not be only US’s president, he will be a leader of the world. The cameras continuously showed George W. Bush’s face in the crucial points of Obama’s speech; moreover, everyone could see that he was ashamed because what he has done to US and to the world by looking at his face. Furthermore, this was one of the crucial points of Obama’s speech:

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed – why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.
