We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to run our schools and our factories…
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is VISION.
We must pick ourselves up, dust off, and remake America.
…will restore our place in Global responsibility
Healthcare baby Healthcare! Yeah baby
Please, America..be patient with
President Barack Obama.
Trust the process and maintain
your pliable hearts for change
It is great to hear a word/name
reclaim a place of honor.
Not an issue of govt
too big or too small
but
whether or not it works.
That’s how to
rebuild between
people and its govt.
Honesty.
Directness.
Actions.
This is what we need in a President
We reject the false choice between our safety and our ideals
Amen. At last.
If only it were that easy.
We are ready to lead once more..
for US they toiled 
We are ready to lead once more!
(People
on the roof of surrounding
buildings.
I bet they’re taking pix too.)
Uncomfortable to do this speech
in front of Bush –
eeeek
“America is a friend of each Nation.”
I’m not the biggest @BarackObama fan,
but he is spitting a lot of truth
in this inauguration speech.
Put me down as hesitantly positive.
Know that America is a friend of each nation and every man woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity.
A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE ALREADY
“We reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.”
DID YOU HEAR THAT? SHALL I REPEAT THAT?
Glad he is speaking against torture
Obama: “…the rule of law
and the rights of man…”
Bush: “yeah, yeah.”
” we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war & segregation”
wow..poetic
“the lines of tribe will soon dissolve…”
whoa.
“For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength and not a weakness.”
Somewhere, Pierre Trudeau
is going,
“‘Patchwork’? Perhaps ‘mosaic?’”
Wow he said “non-believers”
Did he just officially recognize ‘non-believers’?
Wow. I feel included
for once.
So the non believers got a mention..
did the Buddhists not get a shout out?
happy that Obama mentioned us
“unbelievers”
Your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you can destroy.
Greatest. Presidential. Line. Ever.
Great line
…we will extend a hand, if you will unclench your fist…
AWESOME
that fist line is poetic
No doubt. Obama is bringing it.
Smooches, Mr. Obama and your speech writers.
SMOOCHES
quiet force of progress
throughout our history
(patriotism, work ethic, responsibilities, duty)
This is the price and promise of citizenship…
selflessness
of cutting your hours to save someone elses job,
a mother feeding another child
her breastmilk when that child’s mother is …
honesty hard work tolerance fair play loyalty and patriotism
are old
they are true
and have been the force of progress.
This is the meaning of our liberty
This is the sort of speech that will be taught in schools for years to come
Kinda felt sad for Former Pres. Bush for a minute
Would it kill Bush to sit up straight? He looks like the delinquent in the back of the class.
My heart goes out to the military families as they watch/listen with members of their family overseas.
Woah. Oratory excellence BROUGHT.
President Barrack Obama and his call to action to all of us really.
Speech kicked butt!
This may be the greatest speech ever given about the United States
yes Virginia, there is an America
we are the world we are the children sing it with me :
Bars are full of comedy writers & comics who are
drowning their sorrows over the fact that their
gravy train Bush is
no longer president.
“President Barack Obama” – What a concept! What a Country!
a lot of eye wiping in America right now, I bet.
Certainly is here
Solid speech, but not
one for the ages.
That was a speech for the ages.
The world stopped for that one.
Strong speech. Now…time for action.
i trust he will make America great once more……
don’t you just trust him when he starts talking?
Not sure I have ever been so blown away
by a speech or speaker as I am by
President Obama’s speech today. Wow. Just Wow.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Nothing easy in this GREAT Inaugural speech!
great speech.
inspired.
hopeful.
anxious to see how loud and long this tone of unity and change lasts. see in action not just words!
Let us mark this day with remembrance of who we are and how far we have travelled
NOW the real work begins. I have faith that President Obama can lead us through this, but he is a SINGLE man. Lots of work ahead.
We have a new president. That’s the first time we’ve been able to say that in 8 years. So awesome.
From poem: “Say it plain, that many have died for this day.” Indeed. Let us not forget.
Yes. Many have died to bring us here. Never forget.
(My MIL who just became a citizen last year is so excited.
She is even wearing a new outfit for the occasion!)
This is an amazing day.
I am crying at work
God Bless Barack Obama and God Bless America!
AMEN!
Get on the bus, Gus
AMEN!
how great was that!!!
amen
Shouting “AMEN” with our watching group in Rome!
Say Amen.
Amen AND Hallelujah!
Amen
Hurray! It feels like we ALL just got married.
I feel like kissing
and being pelted
with birdseed
and dancing
and throwing bouquets
OMG. We’re going to get through this! Good won over Evil.I need to reboot my attitude. Unbelievable
The steps of so many thousands of feet,
the work of so many thousands of hands,
carried this man to this place on this day.
It strikes awe
140 characters is woefully insufficient to capture the depth of emotion of this moment. My only solace is that you feel it too…
Welcome to Washington, beautiful Obama family.
