I'm a little prouder to be an American today

Good luck to our new President.

I hope some stupid person doesn't kill him. I think he will do good for us. Only time will tell.

I am prouder as well. It's surreal this moment actually arrived and passed. There is an 8-year catastrophe to clean up, let's hope his 4 years can at least clean up that 8 year mess.

I also agree we are finally in for a change in America. Hopefully, we can all travel internationally now without all the stigmas by just being Americans......on another note.....

I can't believe Chief Justice John Roberts messed up the oath of office that bad. I think that was staged to make Obama stammer. What are your thoughts....

I am actually streaming the live coverage for 100 students, and they are completely quiet and attentive. It is a wonderful thing that this man has captured the attention of America's youth the way that pop-stars have.

Good luck to us all. Here's to the Constitution!

We finally have a president that is more focused on improving the state of our country than lining the pockets of corporate America!! We can only hope that he sticks to his guns and brings about real change to this country!!! Go Obama!!!

P.S. How much you wanna bet the note that Bush left in the desk was written with crayon!!!

Stupid people had 8 years to kill Dick Cheney. That's the greatest testament to the marvels of modern security techniques.

"What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.

Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control - and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good."
