Tiye Rosier President's Calling

I listened to Lyndon B. Johnson Address Congress Days After
Assassination. I think it's great of Johnson to show some strength in
such a sad moment. He doesn't give the image if mourning JFK. But
celebrating his life. I like that he reinforces that even though a
tragedy occurred that America was still going to push forward to
complete the tasks at hand. My favorite thing about his speech is that
he uses a quote from Kennedy and the projects that he was fighting for
to honor his memory and provide justification for the things that
Johnson himself was attempting to accomplish. I also really enjoyed
how he said that things may not change with him and his staff or even
in his lifetime but that it will eventually. I think that gave
listeners hope for a better tomorrow.
