REMARKS OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
Inaugural Address
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Washington, D.C.
My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met.
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

Michael Buble &...someone :d - Save the last dance for me (live)
You can dance- every dance with the guy
who gives the eye ,let him hold you tight
You can smile- evry smile for the man
Who held your hands neath the pale monn light
But don't forget who takin' you home
And in whose arms you gonna be
So darling save the last dance for me
Oh I know the the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,but while we're apart
don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin'you home
And in whose arms you gonna be
So darling save the last dance
Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much
You can dance , go and carry on
Till the night is gone
and it's time to go
If he asks if you are all alone
Can he walk you home, you must tell him know
Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Save the last dance
'cause din't forget who taking you home
And in whose arms you gonna be
So darling,save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
You can dance- every dance with the guy
who gives the eye ,let him hold you tight
You can smile- evry smile for the man
Who held your hands neath the pale monn light
But don't forget who takin' you home
And in whose arms you gonna be
So darling save the last dance for me
Oh I know the the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,but while we're apart
don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin'you home
And in whose arms you gonna be
So darling save the last dance
Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go

You can dance , go and carry on
Till the night is gone
and it's time to go
If he asks if you are all alone
Can he walk you home, you must tell him know
Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Save the last dance
'cause din't forget who taking you home
And in whose arms you gonna be
So darling,save the last dance for me
