"We remain a young nation, but in the words of scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."

Where was this scripture say 5 years ago? What a hypocrit!

Who cares.

Its just words.

I guess 1 million 400 people that showed up cared..

I think some perspective is called for here - it was just a frigging speech.

Speeches are all well and good - but they don't fix the economy, the healthcare system, or end the war in Iraq.

Perhaps some people do think that spending $150 million on feel-good symbolism is worthwhile. I get the symbolism (I really do), but I find it very hard to find a justification for spending that kind of money on a glitzy show when the country is up ####### creek.

Actually, a good speech can change a lot of things. A good speech can move the heart, the soul and give one hope.

In this climate it is what a lot of this country needs. They've been incredibly let down and lied to over the past 8 years.

You shouldn't be so dismissive. Words DO have immense power.

Spot on Mags

I will add to that 'once your hand is extended I can grab it and hold you while I kick the sh%t out of you. Blah, Blah ,Blah great speech, fantastic speaker, but talk is cheap. I wish him all the luck in the world he is going to need it. Jorge

Well I didn't get to see all of the speech, but I did get the chance to see him take the oath....I think he was a little nervous as he messed it up a few times, by cutting off the person giving the oath and having to have a part of it repeated to him as he couldn't recite it. I have seen him speak in other times, and he is a very good speaker I just hope he will be able to deliver on his promises even during this tough situtation he is inheriting.

From what was reported on our local talk show.The person giving the oath screwed up several times and obama knew the oath and waited for that person to give it correctly

Correct!!!! Obama was a constitutional law professor.....he knows it inside out..that passage was taken from that document.....the CHIEF SUPREME COURT JUSTICE is the one who screwed it up......which is kind of scarey when you think about about it

Roberts went up there without notes, and Obama jumped a little early on the first part, which I think made Roberts forget where he was, which made him misstate it, which made Obama wait for him to correct himself.

I found it to be very cute, honestly, on both of their parts. A very human moment in the middle of a very institutionally-formalized day. Like Biden taking pictures for the Obama kids with their digital camera.

Roberts initially made the first sentence too long. It should have been "I, Barack Hussein Obama," and then wait for the response.
