obama has changed Obama has changed I saw Obama’s inaugural speeches in 2013 and in 1999. He changed a lot during these four years. He changes from idealism to realism. I found that he was an optimistic person full of passion and he had a sense of humor that isn’t available to most presidents. But now he becomes a serious man with more responsibility. It seems that he had endured too much things which are not easy to settle down. He is an old man with his hair covered with white snow. His eyes are filled with complex emotions---helplessness and confidence. Nevertheless, he becomes a strong man and his speeches are like magnets. But I prefer that fresh young president in 1999.
