There you go. I've done my part.

I didn't see and haven't viewed the vidoe yet, but I read the text (sometimes this is best - I think Obama's speech writing staff is hugely talented). Well, I'm not disappointed.

I'm a fan of great speeches and one of my favorite sites is this collection of political rhetoric. Enjoy!

Apparently his main speech writer is Jon Favreau who is only 27 or so.  What I wouldn't give for that job!

Re: Now also available (none / 1)
after the general election, Peggy Noonan, special assistant for Reagan, tells us that she received a call from the Obama speech team. She was extremely gracious, and touched by their call, in which they discussed not the inaugural they had yet to write, but what it meant to be called on to write it.

Anyways, they've done tremendous work, kudos to them.
