Excerpt|02:25|
Jan. 20: The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward discusses the challenges Barack Obama will inherit from President Bush.

Notes from President Obama’s Inauguration Speech –

Decline not inevitable
Raise your expectations, people
Expectation will be met
Hope over fear
Unity of purpose
End to petty grievances

All are equal
All are Free
and
All deserve an equal chance

Greatness is never a gift, it must be earned!

The risk takers, the doers, obscure in their labor, carried the path to prosperity and freedom.

Immigrants toiled, struggled, settled the west, fought and died.

Struggles and Sacrificed so that we might live a better life.

Love the speech so far…

We still have something to offer the world, but cannot remain passive!

Begin again the work of remaking America!

(applause)

New Foundation for Growth (I like this one)

The sun and the winds and the soils to run our cars and factories.

Some question the scale of our ambitions.

The ground has shifted beneath the cynics. the same old arguments no longer apply.

Does it work or not?

Restore the vital trust between the people and the government.

The reach of our prosperity. The surest route to our common good!

No choice between our safety and our ideals!

(Bush is sitting there thinking “Damn, this is a good speech”)

Ready to lead once more!

The faith and determination of the American people.

(the people are so quiet, wow! I heard there’s over 2 Million people stacked in the Mall in Washington. Oh, they are cheering now. Now back to quiet)

President Obama tells the American people about Valley Forge.

With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents…
