Inaugural Speech of President Barack Obama, January 20, 2009, video and text from NYTimes.com .
Eloquent as always, but with enough specifics about how government, business, and personal behavior ought to be changed.
How happy I am with this dramatic improvement in the quality of our national political leadership!
There was also a touching and classy musical performance during the Inauguration ceremony (you can listen here, or watch here) as well as eloquent invocation, benediction, and poem.
An editorial in the New York Times gives a good summary of why this inaugural address was one that spoke to Americans as thoughtful and needed citizens, and not simply as consumers of political rhetorhic.
