As I watched Obama being sworn in, I thought about something I'd read once about people with names beginning with 'O' and how they are destined for greatness.

Anyone recall "Rosa sat so Martin could walk; Martin walked so Obama could run; Obama is running so our children can fly."? How droll.. Well, the man's fought the good fight and has been rewarded with his place at the Oval Office. Now that he's managed to dislodge the sword from the stone, the world munches on popcorn as we watch and judge his every move as the poor feller trudges through the difficult times he's up against.

Love him or hate him, Obama is unarguably one of the greatest orators of our time. Here's his Inagural address. As carefully put together as it was, I thought it still managed to sag in places.
Give it another looksie if you aren't sick of it already.

Fasten your seatbelts earthlings.
