The profound mistake of Reverend Wright's sermon is not that he spoke about racism in our society. It's that he spoke as if our society was static; as if no progress has been made; as if this country a country that has made it possible for one of his own members to run for the highest office in the land and build a coalition of white and black, Latino and Asia, rich and poor, young and old is still irrevocably bound to a tragic past. But what we know what we have sensed that America can change. That is the true genius of this nation. What we have already achieved gives us hope the audacity to hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This passage was really deep. Obama did not allow all the negative controversy with the Reverend hinder what he was focused on. He took the negativity and try to make a positive out of it. He felt like there was a lot of racial issues in American that went unnoticed. He wanted to bring all issue to the forefront and let everyone know that we are equal. He did not look at people as color he was looking at them as human beings. He said he felt all the harsh realities of America when it came to race as he was a man of many races but he did not love no one no more or no less. He felt like he could change this by being the first African American man to become president. He said there was some progress in this nation when it came to race and he would be the one to try to continue the change.

The Progressive Era
There came a growing feeling that government was conducted for the benefit of a few who thrived unduly at the expense of all. The people sought a balancing a limiting force. There came gradually through town councils trade guilds national parliaments by constitution and by popular participation and control limitation on arbitrary power.
This passage basically stated that when the government was created it was not created for all americans but it was created for some americans. It also states that they used it as if it was for all so that it would be funded by all. This passage also just show the early start to corruption in the american government.
The Great Depression had important consequences in the political sphere. In the United States, economic distress led to the election of the Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presidency in late 1932. Roosevelt introduced a number of major changes in the structure of the American economy, using increased government regulation and massive public-works projects to promote a recovery. But despite this active intervention, mass unemployment and economic stagnation continued, though on a somewhat reduced scale, with about 15 percent of the work force still unemployed in 1939 at the outbreak of World War II. After that, unemployment dropped rapidly as American factories were flooded with orders from overseas for armaments and munitions. The depression ended completely soon after the United States' entry into World War II in 1941. In Europe, the Great Depression strengthened extremist forces and lowered the prestige of liberal democracy. In Germany, economic distress directly contributed to Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933. The Nazis' public-works projects and their rapid expansion of munitions production ended the Depression there by 1936.
This passage just shows how the world went from being a country of survival to a country that could barely survive even with the government trying to help. That the government did not have enough of resources as well to bring the economy back. It a war to come to surface for the economy to start coming together again. This makes you wonder if the war was a solution for the government to get the economy back in functioning order.
This picture shows that they are having a hard time accepting that life for them may have ended. The woman looks like she is drinking her problems away. The man is thinking really hard as to how to keep his family from falling apart. This just show that people had to figure out how to survive with the help of the government this just show more governmental corruption.
