Inaugural Address by President Barack Hussein Obama

Take a look at it one more time. Surreal, I know, but reality indeed.

I am so glad I am alive to witness and appreciate this day, though I never had a doubt that it would come. Everyone is beaming with hope and warmth, enthusiasm and unity. Everyone is energized, fired-up. It feels so good... It feels so good.
