ONLY THE RHYTHM AND CADENCE?
  • One theme in President Obamas Inaugural
    Address seemed to find an echo in a poem by Paul
    Lawrence Dunbar. See if you agree.

Inaugural Address
  • Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or
    settling for less. It has not been the path for
    the faint-hearted for those who prefer leisure
    over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches
    and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers,
    the doers, the makers of things some celebrated
    but more often men and women obscure in their
    labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged
    path towards prosperity and freedom.
