Bill Clinton was the first President from the Democratic party in more than a decade and the first President to take office since the Collapse of the Soviet Union.
In this first speech, he mentioned how the cold-war had ended and that Americans can look forward to a bright future.
However, he also mentioned how the government still has a lot of work to do, not just internationally but domestically.
His overall message was of hope and promise. He was the first President of the Sole Super Power of the World and he believed America was in the perfect position to take up global leadership.
