What Obama said:
"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 fore bearers, and true to our founding documents."
What wasn't said:
Unlike the previous administration which shredded the Constitution and repealed Habeas Corpus.
What Obama said:
"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."
What wasn't said:
All this brought on by the previous administration who failed to fund "No Child Left Behind," who was against real science in favor of "Faith Based" dogma, and was part of the adversaries who threatened our planet.
What Obama said:
"They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions, and greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction."
What wasn't said:
Unlike the previous administration who "Ruled" by the "Us against Them" agenda.
What Obama said:
"We will restore science to its rightful place and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its costs."
What wasn't said:
Unlike the previous administration who replaced science with religious mumbo jumbo and refused to let real science advance and provide affordable healthcare to all.
What Obama said:
"And those of us who manage the public's knowledge 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."
What wasn't said:
Unlike the previous administration that formed an energy policy that was behind closed doors and involved unknown people and raised our energy prices to unaffordable levels. Unlike the previous administration who rarely held press conferences and whose previous press secretary came out against its own administration for lying to the people.
What Obama said:
"But this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control. The Nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous."
What wasn't said:
Unlike the previous administration who was against and actually campaigned on a "Less Regulation" agenda, and deregulated everything from the airlines to banking and loans and energy production. They even reduced regulations on air and water pollutants.
What Obama said:
"As for our common defense, WE reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers faced with perils that we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake."
What wasn't said:
Unlike the previous administration who did just that.
What Obama said:
"They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through it prudent use. Our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint."
What wasn't said:
Unlike the previous administration that was not either humble nor restrained in their efforts to do as they pleased. To show that we had the power to do that which this country has always fought against in a not too prudent way.
What Obama said:
"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history . . ."
What wasn't said:
Just look at our own recent past and see where it got them. History will record they had a 25% approval rating and will forever be known as the "Worst President Ever . . . Ever!"
