Me, too. It was short, to the point, and didn't gloss over the difficulties the U.S. faces. Obama seems to be striving to become a leader who can inspire us to do better rather than promising that government is going to fix everything. I like that.
Obligatory nitpick: He began his speech by saying that 44 Americans had taken the oath of office. Technically, that's not correct. Grover Cleveland counts as two presidents (22 and 24), but it's stretching things to consider him two Americans.

I took today off from work to watch the Inauguration. It's kept me busy. I haven't posted in this thread since the Bush Administration.

(With all the Bushisms we've been posting, I figure noting Obama-isms (Obamanations?) is only fair.)
