U.S. President Barack Obama's Inaugural Speech Faces Crisis Head On

Obama also touches in his speech the needed actions to combat the global climate crisis, the need to promote peace and to solve the economic crisis that the country is facing. He offered a salute to fallen soldiers and heroes and mentions the heroism in each and every American.
The speech lasted 20 minutes and did not include any huge promises and big expectations. It is a speech of reality and challenge. It is safe to say that Obama chose to be honest to his constituents rather than offer a fanfare which may in time become the nightmare of his presidency.
Before that during the swearing in ceremony, Obama garbled in the pledge due to the length of the phrase he is about to say. The president just smiled and continue with the swearing in. For some it seems a very odd thing to see in a ceremony like this.
