I beg to differ. I disagree. I loved the part where he mentions "we are a nation of Christians, and Musilms, Jews and Buddhists...." I loved that and it let's me know he stands for all people and that makes me feel happy because no other president ever said these words. Obama realizes the world is created up of many races, cultures, and religions. It's ashamed you think his words are useless and "just words"-I feel he will do his level best to keep his words.

Mahitab - you could do with taking things a bit less seriously.

May sound like original thoughts to you but how about this speech by comparison?

Self-government relies, in the end, on the governing of the self. That edifice of character is built in families, supported by communities with standards, and sustained in our nation life by the truths of Sinai, the sermon on the mount, the words of the Koran, and the varied faiths of our people. Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before, ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today and forever. (Cheers, applause.)

In America's ideal of freedom, the exercise of rights is ennobled by service and mercy and a heart for the weak. Liberty for all does not mean independence from one another. Our nation relies on men and women who look after a neighbor and surround the lost with love. Americans, at our best, value the life we see in one another, and must always remember that even the unwanted have worth. (Cheers, applause.)

And our country must abandon all the habits of racism because we cannot carry the message of freedom and the baggage of bigotry at the same time. (Cheers, applause.)

"...we have to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off....."

A very powerful message and a great speech from a man who is able to motivate and bring a new spirit to this great country

Best part of the speech: learning that his speech writer is HOT.
