I do solemnly swear that I am dyslexic
TODAY I SAY TO YOU
THESE CHALLENGES WILL BE MET
ON THIS DAY WE CHOOSE HOPE
THE TIME HAS COME TO PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS
ALL DESERVE A CHANCE TO PURSUE THEIR FULL MEASURE OF HAPPINESS
FOR US THEY TOILED AND SUFFERED THE LASH AND FOUGHT AND DIED
THEY SAW AMERICA AS BIGGER THAN THE SUM OF OUR AMBITIONS
OUR MINDS NO LESS INVENTIVE
PICK OURSELVES UP DUST OURSELVES OFF AND START ALL OVER AGAIN
WE WILL RESTORE SCIENCE TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE
WE WILL MEET THE DEMANDS OF A NEW AGE
NECESSITY TO COURAGE
DOES IT WORK
YES WE GO NO WE DONT
THE MARKET CAN SPIN OUT OF CONTROL
THE MARKET MUST SUPPORT THE REACH OF OUR PROSPERITY
OUR FREEDOM IS NOT NEGOTIABLE
WE WILL NOT GIVE UP OUR FREEDOM FOR EXPEDIENCY SAKE
WE ARE READY TO LEAD ONCE MORE
OUR POWER ALONE CANNOT PROTECT US
OUR SECURITY FLOWS FROM THE JUSTICE OF OUR CAUSE
TO THE TERRORISTS OUR SPIRIT IS STRONGER WE WILL OUTLAST YOU
AND WE WILL DEFEAT YOU
THE LINES OF TRIBES WILL GROW SMALLER
TO THE MUSLIM NATIONS YOUR PEOPLE WILL JUDGE YOU ON WHAT YOU CAN BUILD, NOT ON WHAT YOU CAN DESTROY
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED AND WE MUST CHANGE WITH IT
WE HONOUR THEM BECAUSE THEY EMBODY THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE
THIS SPIRIT MUST INHABIT US ALL
OUR CHALLENGES MAY BE NEW
WHAT IS REQUIRED IS A NEW ERA OF RESPONSIBILITY
WITH HOPE AND VIRTUE LET US TAKE FREEDOM AND HAND IT SAFELY OVER TO FUTURE GENERATIONS

I'm watching Obama walking through the streets right now and I don't remember anyone cheering for a president like that in my lifetime. Bush(s), Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, LBJ - I've never seen inaugural crowd reactions like this. It's a great time to be American and I get the sense that he won't squander this opportunity the way Bush did after 9/11.
