Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration Speech

21 Jan, 2009 Personal

The 44th US Presidential inauguration was telecast live in the wee hours of 21 Jan morning local time and I did not manage to catch this history in the making either via live telecast on TV of webcast. Thanks to the Internet and YouTube, I was able to hear and view Barack Obama’s inauguration speech and relive that historic moment and be inspired once again by this great orator.

In this inaugural speech, there was no memorable one-liner like Roosevelt’s “we have nothing to fear but fear itself” or Kennedy’s “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country“. Nevertheless, it was no less awe inspiring – the goose bumps inducing kind of inspiring!
