Inauguration Address by Obama

[edit]

I think it deserves its own page. Sabote88 (talk) 10:45, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I second the comment made above about the inaugural address, since this section is overly long and takes up a good portion of content in the article. Also, the content in the "Reactions to inaugural address" section needs to be reduced, since this section is also too long. Both sections need to be summarized better to bring the size of the article into balance -- not to mention, make the article easier to read without looking at a sea of unbroken gray.

These United States

[edit]

The Huffington Post, U.S. News & World Report, and The Daily Beast have documented that President Obama used the term "these United States" (plural form) rather than the more common "the United States" (singular form) which has been in common use since the American Civil War.

Where, if anywhere, could these reliable sources be integrated with content in an article?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 15:48, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

post hoc

[edit]

There are at least 2 date errors in this article. The first is where it says "the 2009 prayer service", when it is 2013. The second one is where it says the prayer service mentioned the Boston Marathon bombings and West, TX fertilizer explosions; the service was on January 21, 2013; the Marathon bombings was on April 15th and the TX explosion on April 16th or April 17th. How can there be a service for two events that had yet to happen? 74.69.9.224 (talk) 21:38, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected with this and this edit.--P3Y229 (talkcontribs) 12:13, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Inaugural address

[edit]

Not sure if this has been pointed out before but the section on the Inaugural address is way too long and detailed. It's basically a huge wall of text that no one will read. Lots of this just needs to be summarized.Volunteer Marek (talk) 09:46, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
