Ladies and Gentlemen, |
| 00:00:53 |
the President-elect |
| 00:00:56 |
Barack H. Obama! |
| 00:01:55 |
I've to say the applause on our rooftop |
| 00:02:00 |
That is a crowd of millions, |
| 00:02:04 |
and this is the realization |
| 00:02:07 |
that M. Luther King spoke about |
| 00:02:09 |
in the holy 1960's. |
| 00:02:12 |
Notice also that |
| 00:02:15 |
is Barack H. Obama, |
| 00:02:18 |
When he takes the earth of office, |
| 00:02:21 |
Barack Hussein Obama, |
| 00:02:23 |
that middle-name has been very |
| 00:02:27 |
but it sends |
| 00:02:30 |
many people around the world, |
| 00:02:33 |
That signal that precedes |
| 00:02:35 |
today's speech |
| 00:02:38 |
to consume this White House. |
| 00:02:46 |
Ladies and Gentlemen, |
| 00:02:47 |
the chairman of the Joy Congrationnal |
| 00:02:52 |
the honorable Dianne Feinstein. |
| 00:03:03 |
Mr. President and Vice-President, |
| 00:03:06 |
Mr. President-elect, |
| 00:03:07 |
and Vice-President-elect, |
| 00:03:09 |
ladies and gentlemen. |
| 00:03:11 |
Welcome to the inauguration |
| 00:03:13 |
of the 44th President |
| 00:03:22 |
The world is watching today, |
| 00:03:24 |
as our great democracy engages |
| 00:03:26 |
in this peaceful |
| 00:03:30 |
Here, on the National Mall, |
| 00:03:32 |
where we remember |
| 00:03:35 |
and those who fought |
| 00:03:38 |
we gather to etch another line |
| 00:03:41 |
in the solid stone of history. |
| 00:03:44 |
The freedom of a people |
| 00:03:46 |
to choose its leaders |
| 00:03:50 |
In a world where political strike |
| 00:03:53 |
is too often selled with violence, |
| 00:03:56 |
we come here every four years |
| 00:03:59 |
to bestow the power |
| 00:04:02 |
Upon our democratically |
| 00:04:06 |
Those who doubt |
| 00:04:07 |
the supremacy of the ballot |
| 00:04:11 |
can never diminish the power |
| 00:04:15 |
for justice and equality |
| 00:04:18 |
like the one |
| 00:04:21 |
No triumph, tainted by brutality, |
| 00:04:25 |
could ever match |
| 00:04:29 |
and what it means |
| 00:04:31 |
and died to make it a reality. |
| 00:04:35 |
Our work is not yet finished, |
| 00:04:37 |
but future generations |
| 00:04:40 |
as the turning-point for real |
| 00:04:43 |
and necessary changes in our nation. |
| 00:04:46 |
The will look back, |
| 00:04:49 |
and remember |
| 00:04:52 |
when the dream |
| 00:04:56 |
from the steps |
| 00:04:58 |
finally reaches the walls |
| 00:05:07 |
In that spirit, |
| 00:05:09 |
we today not only inaugurate |
| 00:05:13 |
we pledge ourselves to the hope, |
| 00:05:16 |
the vision, the unity, |
| 00:05:18 |
and a renewed call to greatness, |
| 00:05:21 |
inspired by the 44th President |
| 00:05:25 |
Barack Obama. |
| 00:05:27 |
Thank you. And God bless America. |
| 00:05:32 |
At this time, |
| 00:05:33 |
I call upon Dr. Rick Warren, |
| 00:05:36 |
Pastor of the Celibate Church |
| 00:05:40 |
to provide the invocation. |
| 00:05:52 |
Let us pray... |
| 00:05:55 |
Almighty God, |
| 00:05:58 |
our Father, |
| 00:06:00 |
Everything we see, |
| 00:06:04 |
exists because of you alone. |
| 00:06:06 |
It all comes from you. |
| 00:06:09 |
It all belongs to you. |
| 00:06:11 |
It all exists for your glory. |
| 00:06:13 |
History is your story. |
| 00:06:17 |
The Scripture tells us: |
| 00:06:20 |
the Lord is our God, |
| 00:06:23 |
the Lord is one." |
| 00:06:26 |
And you are the compassionate |
| 00:06:29 |
and merciful one. |
| 00:06:31 |
And you are loving |
| 00:06:36 |
Now today, |
| 00:06:37 |
we rejoice not only |
| 00:06:39 |
in America's peaceful transfer of power |
| 00:06:44 |
we celebrate |
| 00:06:48 |
with the inauguration of our first |
| 00:06:51 |
African-American President |
| 00:07:00 |
We are so grateful |
| 00:07:03 |
to live in this land, |
| 00:07:06 |
a land of unequaled possibility, |
| 00:07:09 |
where the son |
| 00:07:11 |
can rise to the highest level |
| 00:07:16 |
And we know today that Dr. King, |
| 00:07:20 |
and a great cloud of witnesses, |
| 00:07:27 |
Give to our new President, |
| 00:07:30 |
the wisdom |
| 00:07:34 |
the courage |
| 00:07:39 |
the compassion |
| 00:07:44 |
Bless and protect him, |
| 00:07:47 |
his family, |
| 00:07:49 |
Vice-President Biden, the cabinet, |
| 00:07:52 |
and every one |
| 00:07:58 |
Help us, oh God, |
| 00:08:02 |
united not by race, |
| 00:08:04 |
or religion, or blood, |
| 00:08:07 |
but to our commitment to freedom, |
| 00:08:10 |
and justice for all. |
| 00:08:13 |
When we focus on ourselves, |
| 00:08:16 |
when we fight each other, |
| 00:08:19 |
forgive us. |
| 00:08:22 |
When we presume that our greatness |
| 00:08:26 |
forgive us. |
| 00:08:29 |
When we fail to treat |
| 00:08:32 |
and all the earth with the respect |
| 00:08:34 |
that they deserve, |
| 00:08:36 |
forgive us. |
| 00:08:39 |
And as we face |
| 00:08:42 |
may we have |
| 00:08:46 |
responsibility in our actions, |
| 00:08:49 |
humility in our approaches, |
| 00:08:53 |
and civility in our attitudes |
| 00:08:55 |
even when we differ. |
| 00:08:58 |
Help us to share, to serve, |
| 00:09:01 |
and to seek the common good of all. |
| 00:09:06 |
May all people of good will today |
| 00:09:10 |
to work for a more just, |
| 00:09:12 |
a more healthy, and a more prosperous |
| 00:09:18 |
And may we never |
| 00:09:20 |
all nations and all people |
| 00:09:27 |
We now commit our new president, |
| 00:09:32 |
and his wife Michelle, |
| 00:09:35 |
and his daughters, Malia and Sasha, |
| 00:09:39 |
into your loving care. |
| 00:09:43 |
I humbly ask this in the name of the one |
| 00:09:47 |
Yeshua, |
| 00:09:48 |
Isa, |
| 00:09:49 |
Jesús, |
| 00:09:50 |
Jesus, |
| 00:09:52 |
who taught us to pray: |
| 00:09:55 |
Our father, |
| 00:09:56 |
who art in heaven, |
| 00:09:59 |
hallowed be thy name. |
| 00:10:02 |
Thy kingdom come, |
| 00:10:04 |
thy will be done, |
| 00:10:06 |
on earth as it is in heaven. |
| 00:10:09 |
Give us this day our daily bread, |
| 00:10:13 |
and forgive us our trespasses, |
| 00:10:16 |
who trespass against us. |
| 00:10:20 |
And lead us not into temptation, |
| 00:10:23 |
but deliver us from evil, |
| 00:10:25 |
for thine is the kingdom, |
| 00:10:27 |
and the power, |
| 00:10:29 |
and the glory, |
| 00:10:30 |
forever. |
| 00:10:32 |
Amen. |
| 00:10:37 |

| 00:14:31 |
African-Americans |
| 00:14:32 |
have had so many roads |
| 00:14:35 |
but never the road of President. |

Thank you, Mr. Justice! |
| 00:15:48 |
The oath of Minister |
| 00:15:51 |
John Paul Stevens who's 88. |
| 00:15:53 |
A long and serving member |
| 00:15:55 |
Joe Biden is now Vice-President |
| 00:16:03 |
And of course that have been |
| 00:16:07 |
the Vice-President... |
| 00:16:09 |
and his oath, then became |
| 00:16:13 |
in a time ???? because |
| 00:16:17 |
We hope that never has to come |
| 00:16:19 |
and pass, but it has passed |
| 00:16:22 |
in the history of this nation. |
| 00:16:24 |
And that is because of that |
| 00:16:27 |
an unprecedent event of security, |
| 00:16:30 |
even in the very beginning of |
| 00:16:33 |
secret-service agents |
| 00:16:37 |
whether the other candidates had not. |
| 00:16:40 |
It gives you some idea of the |
| 00:16:42 |
worries that surround the office, |
| 00:16:48 |
Anthony McGill, clarinet. |
| 00:16:51 |
Yo-Yo Ma, cellist. |

| 00:16:56 |
Performing "Air and Simple Gifts", |
| 00:16:59 |
composition arranged for this occasion |
| 00:17:05 |
So the special compostion |
| 00:17:07 |
with four of the most-gifted musicians |
| 00:17:11 |
part of a program that has been approved |
| 00:17:15 |
and we'll enjoy the music in a second, |
| 00:17:20 |
Barack Obama himself, |
| 00:17:23 |
and he's minutes away of this |
| 00:17:27 |
He's indeed... |
| 00:17:30 |
transfer, he will be running ???? |
| 00:17:33 |
Then, he will have lunch |
| 00:17:35 |
on Capitol Hill with members of Congress |
| 00:17:39 |
the parade. |
| 00:17:40 |
In-between all that, |
| 00:17:44 |
A little bit of history; |
| 00:17:47 |
ever given by a new president; |
| 00:17:49 |
President Harrison's |
| 00:17:52 |
and he was wearing no hat. |
| 00:17:54 |
all the inaugural ???? |
| 00:17:57 |
he could ???? |
| 00:18:00 |
And it's not going |
| 00:18:02 |
But what will happen is that |
| 00:18:04 |
the world and America will listen |
| 00:18:07 |
this man has to say. |
| 00:18:10 |
turn his words into the kind of music |
| 00:18:15 |
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, |
| 00:18:17 |
Itzhak Perlman, |
| 00:18:22 |
performing this piece |
| 00:21:42 |
A piece specially commissionned |
| 00:21:45 |
and composed by John Williams. |
| 00:21:48 |
As we approach the moment when |
| 00:21:51 |
The President Inauguration |
| 00:21:55 |
It just turned noon here |
| 00:21:59 |
The Inauguration... The chief Justice |
| 00:22:03 |
???? just a minut before noon. |
| 00:22:15 |
But now everyone is standing |
| 00:22:20 |
Swearing of the 44th President |
| 00:22:24 |
Barack Hussein Obama. |
| 00:22:28 |
This is a moment that even he and his |
| 00:22:33 |
Are you prepared |
| 00:22:35 |
- I am. |
| 00:22:39 |
- I, Barack... |
| 00:22:41 |
I, Barack Hussein Obama, |
| 00:22:44 |
that I will execute the office |
| 00:22:49 |
That I will execute... |
| 00:22:51 |
The off... Faithfully the pres... |
| 00:22:56 |
and I will to the best of my ability |
| 00:22:58 |
And will, to best of my ability |
| 00:23:00 |
preserve, protect, and defend |
| 00:23:04 |
Preserve, protect, and defend |
| 00:23:07 |
- So help you God? |
| 00:23:08 |
Congratuations, Mr. President. |
| 00:23:12 |
All best wishes. |
| 00:24:25 |
It is my greatest honor |
| 00:24:28 |
to present the 44th president |
| 00:24:32 |
Barack Obama. |
| 00:24:56 |
Thank you. |
| 00:25:04 |
My fellow citizens: |
| 00:25:09 |
I stand here today |
| 00:25:14 |
humbled by the task before us |
| 00:25:18 |
grateful for |
| 00:25:22 |
mindful of the sacrifices borne |
| 00:25:28 |
I thank President Bush |
| 00:25:36 |
as well as the generosity |
| 00:25:40 |
throughout this transition. |
| 00:25:44 |
Forty-four Americans have now |
| 00:25:50 |
The words have been spoken |
| 00:25:54 |
and the still waters of peace. |
| 00:25:57 |
Yet, every so often, |
| 00:26:00 |
the oath is taken amidst |
| 00:26:04 |
and raging storms. |
| 00:26:07 |
At these moments America has |
| 00:26:10 |
because of the skill |
| 00:26:14 |
but because, We, The People, |
| 00:26:18 |
have remained faithful |
| 00:26:21 |
and true to our founding documents. |
| 00:26:25 |
So it has been. |
| 00:26:28 |
So it must be with this |
| 00:26:33 |
That we are in the midst |
| 00:26:37 |
Our nation is at war |
| 00:26:39 |
against a far-reaching |
| 00:26:44 |
Our economy is badly weakened, |
| 00:26:46 |
a consequence of greed and |
| 00:26:50 |
but also our collective |
| 00:26:54 |
and prepare the nation for a new age. |
| 00:26:57 |
Homes have been lost; |
| 00:26:59 |
jobs shed; businesses shuttered. |
| 00:27:01 |
Our health care is too costly; |
| 00:27:05 |
and each day brings |
| 00:27:08 |
the ways we use energy strengthen |
| 00:27:14 |
These are the indicators of crisis, |
| 00:27:16 |
subject to data and statistics. |
| 00:27:20 |
Less measurable, but no less profound, |
| 00:27:23 |
is a sapping of |
| 00:27:28 |
A nagging fear that |
| 00:27:30 |
America's decline is inevitable, |
| 00:27:33 |
and that the next generation |
| 00:27:38 |
Today I say to you |
| 00:27:42 |
They are serious and they are many. |
| 00:27:44 |
They will not be met easily |
| 00:27:48 |
But know this, |
| 00:27:58 |
On this day, |
| 00:28:00 |
we gather because |
| 00:28:04 |
unity of purpose over |
| 00:28:09 |
On this day, |
| 00:28:10 |
we come to proclaim |
| 00:28:13 |
and false promises, |
| 00:28:16 |
and worn out dogmas |
| 00:28:18 |
that for far too long |
| 00:28:22 |
We remain a young nation, |
| 00:28:25 |
but in the words of Scripture, |
| 00:28:27 |
the time has come to |
| 00:28:32 |
The time has come to |
| 00:28:36 |
to choose our better history, |
| 00:28:40 |
that noble idea passed on from |
| 00:28:44 |
the God-given promise |
| 00:28:47 |
all are free, |
| 00:28:50 |
to pursue their full |
| 00:29:02 |
In reaffirming |
| 00:29:05 |
we understand |
| 00:29:09 |
It must be earned. |
| 00:29:11 |
Our journey has never been |
| 00:29:15 |
It has not been |
| 00:29:18 |
for those who prefer |
| 00:29:21 |
or seek only the pleasures |
| 00:29:25 |
Rather, it has been the risk-takers, |
| 00:29:27 |
the doers, the makers of things; |
| 00:29:30 |
some celebrated, but more often |
| 00:29:35 |
who have carried us up the long, rugged |
| 00:29:41 |
For us, |
| 00:29:43 |
they packed up |
| 00:29:45 |
and traveled across oceans |
| 00:29:49 |
For us, |
| 00:29:50 |
they toiled in sweatshops |
| 00:29:53 |
endured the lash of |
| 00:29:58 |
For us, they fought and died |
| 00:30:01 |
in places like Concord and Gettysburg, |
| 00:30:07 |
Time and again, these |
| 00:30:10 |
and sacrificed and worked |
| 00:30:13 |
so that we might live a better life. |
| 00:30:16 |
They saw America as bigger |
| 00:30:18 |
than the sum of |
| 00:30:20 |
greater than all the differences |
| 00:30:26 |
This is the journey |
| 00:30:29 |
We remain the most prosperous, |
| 00:30:33 |
Our workers are no less productive |
| 00:30:37 |
Our minds are no less inventive, |
| 00:30:39 |
our goods and services |
| 00:30:41 |
than they were last week |
| 00:30:45 |
Our capacity remains undiminished. |
| 00:30:50 |
But our time of standing pat, |
| 00:30:52 |
of protecting narrow interests |
| 00:30:56 |
that time has surely passed. |
| 00:30:59 |
Starting today, |
| 00:31:00 |
we must pick ourselves up, |
| 00:31:04 |
and begin again |
| 00:31:16 |
For everywhere we look, |
| 00:31:17 |
there is work to be done. |
| 00:31:19 |
The state of |
| 00:31:21 |
bold and swift, and we will act, |
| 00:31:24 |
not only to create new jobs, |
| 00:31:26 |
but to lay a new |
| 00:31:28 |
We will build the roads and bridges, |
| 00:31:31 |
the electric grids |
| 00:31:34 |
and bind us together. |
| 00:31:36 |
We will restore science |
| 00:31:39 |
and wield technology's wonders |
| 00:31:42 |
and lower its cost. |
| 00:31:44 |
We will harness the sun, |
| 00:31:47 |
to fuel our cars |
| 00:31:50 |
And we will transform our |
| 00:31:54 |
to meet the demands of a new age. |
| 00:31:57 |
All this we can do. |
| 00:31:59 |
And all this we will do. |
| 00:32:02 |
Now, there are some who question |
| 00:32:07 |
who suggest that our system |
| 00:32:13 |
Their memories are short. |
| 00:32:15 |
For they have forgotten |
| 00:32:19 |
what free men |
| 00:32:21 |
imagination is joined |
| 00:32:24 |
and necessity to courage. |
| 00:32:27 |
What the cynics fail to understand is |
| 00:32:32 |
that the stale political arguments |
| 00:32:34 |
that have consumed us |
| 00:32:39 |
The question we ask today is not whether |
| 00:32:43 |
but whether it works, |
| 00:32:45 |
whether it helps families |
| 00:32:48 |
care they can afford a retirement |
| 00:32:52 |
Where the answer is yes: |
| 00:32:55 |
Where the answer is no: |
| 00:32:57 |
programs will end. |
| 00:32:59 |
And those of us who manage |
| 00:33:01 |
the public's dollars |
| 00:33:03 |
to spend wisely, |
| 00:33:05 |
reform bad habits, |
| 00:33:06 |
and do our business |
| 00:33:08 |
because only then can we restore |
| 00:33:11 |
the vital trust between |
| 00:33:17 |
Nor is the question before us whether |
| 00:33:23 |
Its power to generate wealth |
| 00:33:27 |
but this crisis has reminded |
| 00:33:31 |
the market can spin out of control, |
| 00:33:33 |
and that a nation |
| 00:33:36 |
when it favors only the prosperous. |
| 00:33:39 |
The success of |
| 00:33:42 |
not just on the size |
| 00:33:45 |
but on the reach of our prosperity, |
| 00:33:47 |
on our ability to extend |
| 00:33:52 |
Not out of charity, |
| 00:33:54 |
but because it is the surest |
| 00:34:03 |
As for our common defense, |
| 00:34:07 |
we reject as false the choice |
| 00:34:12 |
Our Founding Fathers... |
| 00:34:17 |
faced with perils |
| 00:34:21 |
drafted a charter to assure |
| 00:34:25 |
A charter expanded |
| 00:34:29 |
Those ideals still light the world, |
| 00:34:32 |
and we will not give them |
| 00:34:37 |
And so... |
| 00:34:39 |
to all other peoples and governments |
| 00:34:42 |
from the grandest capitals |
| 00:34:45 |
where my father was born, |
| 00:34:47 |
know that America is a friend of each |
| 00:34:51 |
who seeks a future |
| 00:34:54 |
and that we are ready |
| 00:35:12 |
Recall that earlier generations |
| 00:35:17 |
not just with missiles and tanks, |
| 00:35:19 |
but with sturdy alliances |
| 00:35:23 |
They understood that |
| 00:35:26 |
nor does it entitle |
| 00:35:30 |
Instead, they knew that |
| 00:35:33 |
our security emanates |
| 00:35:36 |
the force of our example, |
| 00:35:38 |
the tempering qualities |
| 00:35:44 |
We are the keepers of this legacy. |
| 00:35:48 |
Guided by these |
| 00:35:50 |
we can meet those new threats |
| 00:35:52 |
that demand even greater effort, |
| 00:35:54 |
even greater cooperation |
| 00:35:58 |
We will begin to responsibly |
| 00:36:01 |
and forge a hard-earned |
| 00:36:05 |
With old friends and former foes, |
| 00:36:07 |
we will work tirelessly |
| 00:36:10 |
and roll back the specter |
| 00:36:14 |
We will not apologize |
| 00:36:16 |
nor will we waver in its defense, |
| 00:36:19 |
and for those who seek |
| 00:36:21 |
by inducing terror |
| 00:36:24 |
we say to you now |
| 00:36:26 |
and cannot be broken; you cannot |
| 00:36:44 |
For we know, |
| 00:36:47 |
that our patchwork |
| 00:36:50 |
not a weakness. |
| 00:36:52 |
We are a nation of |
| 00:36:55 |
Jews and Hindus, |
| 00:36:57 |
and non-believers. |
| 00:36:59 |
We are shaped by every |
| 00:37:01 |
drawn from every end of this Earth, |
| 00:37:03 |
and because we have tasted the bitter |
| 00:37:08 |
and emerged from that dark |
| 00:37:12 |
we cannot help but believe |
| 00:37:16 |
that the lines of |
| 00:37:19 |
that as the world grows smaller, |
| 00:37:21 |
our common humanity |
| 00:37:23 |
and that America must play its role |
| 00:37:25 |
in ushering in a new era of peace. |
| 00:37:29 |
To the Muslim world, |
| 00:37:31 |
we seek a new way forward, |
| 00:37:33 |
based on mutual interest |
| 00:37:37 |
To those leaders around |
| 00:37:41 |
or blame their society's |
| 00:37:43 |
know that your people will |
| 00:37:47 |
not what you destroy. |
| 00:37:50 |
To those... |
| 00:37:54 |
To those who cling to power |
| 00:37:57 |
and the silencing of dissent, |
| 00:38:00 |
know that you are |
| 00:38:02 |
but that we will extend a hand |
| 00:38:05 |
if you are willing |
| 00:38:11 |
To the people of poor nations, |
| 00:38:13 |
we pledge to work alongside you |
| 00:38:15 |
to make your farms flourish |
| 00:38:18 |
to nourish starved bodies |
| 00:38:22 |
And to those nations like |
| 00:38:26 |
we say we can |
| 00:38:29 |
to suffering outside our borders, |
| 00:38:31 |
nor can we consume the world's |
| 00:38:36 |
For the world has changed, |
| 00:38:38 |
and we must change with it. |
| 00:38:44 |
As we consider |
| 00:38:47 |
we remember with humble gratitude |
| 00:38:51 |
those brave Americans who, |
| 00:38:54 |
patrol far-off deserts |
| 00:38:59 |
They have something to tell us, |
| 00:39:01 |
this is the fallen heroes who lie |
| 00:39:07 |
We honor them not only because |
| 00:39:11 |
but because they embody |
| 00:39:15 |
a willingness to find meaning |
| 00:39:21 |
And yet, at this moment, |
| 00:39:23 |
a moment that will |
| 00:39:26 |
it is precisely this spirit |
| 00:39:32 |
For as much as government |
| 00:39:36 |
it is ultimately the faith |
| 00:39:40 |
upon which this nation relies. |
| 00:39:43 |
It is the kindness to take |
| 00:39:46 |
the selflessness of workers |
| 00:39:50 |
than see a friend lose their job |
| 00:39:54 |
It is the firefighter's courage |
| 00:39:56 |
to storm a stairway |
| 00:39:58 |
but also a parent's |
| 00:40:02 |
that finally decides our fate. |
| 00:40:07 |
Our challenges may be new. |
| 00:40:10 |
The instruments with |
| 00:40:15 |
But those values upon |
| 00:40:19 |
honesty and hard work, |
| 00:40:21 |
courage and fair play, |
| 00:40:23 |
tolerance and curiosity, |
| 00:40:25 |
loyalty and patriotism; |
| 00:40:29 |
these things are old, |
| 00:40:32 |
these things are true. |
| 00:40:37 |
They have been the quiet force |
| 00:40:42 |
What is demanded then |
| 00:40:47 |
What is required of us now |
| 00:40:52 |
a recognition |
| 00:40:54 |
that we have duties to ourselves, |
| 00:40:58 |
Duties that we do not grudgingly |
| 00:41:02 |
firm in the knowledge that there |
| 00:41:06 |
so defining of our character |
| 00:41:09 |
than giving our all |
| 00:41:12 |
This is the price |
| 00:41:17 |
This is the source of our confidence, |
| 00:41:20 |
the knowledge that God calls |
| 00:41:24 |
This is the meaning |
| 00:41:28 |
why men and women and children |
| 00:41:31 |
can join in celebration |
| 00:41:36 |
and why a man whose father |
| 00:41:39 |
might not have been |
| 00:41:43 |
can now stand before you, |
| 00:41:45 |
to take a most sacred oath. |
| 00:41:58 |
So let us mark this |
| 00:42:02 |
of who we are, |
| 00:42:08 |
In the year of America's birth, |
| 00:42:10 |
in the coldest of months, |
| 00:42:12 |
a small band of patriots huddled by |
| 00:42:14 |
dying campfires |
| 00:42:18 |
The capital was abandoned. |
| 00:42:20 |
The enemy was advancing. |
| 00:42:22 |
The snow was stained with blood. |
| 00:42:26 |
At a moment when the outcome |
| 00:42:30 |
the father of our nation ordered |
| 00:42:36 |
"Let it be told |
| 00:42:38 |
that in the depth of winter, |
| 00:42:40 |
when nothing but hope |
| 00:42:43 |
that the city and the country, |
| 00:42:45 |
Alarmed at one common danger |
| 00:42:47 |
came forth to meet it." |
| 00:42:50 |
America. |
| 00:42:52 |
In the face of our common dangers, |
| 00:42:55 |
in this winter of our hardship, |
| 00:42:58 |
let us remember these timeless words. |
| 00:43:01 |
With hope and virtue, |
| 00:43:03 |
let us brave once |
| 00:43:05 |
and endure what storms may come. |
| 00:43:08 |
Let it be said by |
| 00:43:11 |
that when we were tested, |
| 00:43:15 |
That we did not turn |
| 00:43:17 |
And with eyes fixed on the horizon, |
| 00:43:20 |
and God's grace upon us, |
| 00:43:22 |
we carried forth |
| 00:43:25 |
and delivered it safely |
| 00:43:28 |
Thank you. God bless you. |
| 00:43:30 |
And God bless |
| 00:43:41 |
The enhanced crowd |
| 00:43:43 |
the 44th President, |
| 00:43:45 |
Barack Obama, |
| 00:43:47 |
at the inaugural address |
| 00:43:50 |
of the Capitol. |
| 00:43:52 |
Of course, |
| 00:43:53 |
it was full of the souring arches |
| 00:43:56 |
but I think most crushly |
| 00:43:59 |
an enormous business-like tone. |
| 00:44:01 |
This is a man who takes office, |
| 00:44:04 |
who'd be sitting in the Oval Office |
| 00:44:07 |
with an enormous entry of problems, |
| 00:44:10 |
and I think what he wants to do, |
| 00:44:13 |
is to get away from this impression |
| 00:44:17 |
very very good with words, |
| 00:44:19 |
he also has to be very very good |
| 00:44:23 |
and what he basically told us here |
| 00:44:26 |
and turn it into an opportunity, |
| 00:44:30 |
that 60 years ago, |
| 00:44:31 |
someone like him wouldn't |
| 00:44:34 |
in many states of this country, |
| 00:44:37 |
he got the biggest front of applause, |
| 00:44:42 |
The ceremony is not over; |
| 00:44:44 |
after he's greeted |
| 00:44:47 |
all the members there, |
| 00:44:49 |
there would be |
| 00:44:52 |
after which the ceremony |
| 00:44:56 |
...of introducing an American poet, |
| 00:44:59 |
Elizabeth Alexander. |
| 00:45:28 |
Praise song for the day. |
| 00:45:33 |
Each day we go about our business, |
| 00:45:38 |
walking past each other, |
| 00:45:41 |
catching each others' eyes or not, |
| 00:45:45 |
about to speak or speaking |
| 00:45:49 |
All about us is noise. |
| 00:45:53 |
All about us is noise and bramble, |
| 00:45:58 |
thorn and din, |
| 00:46:00 |
each one of our ancestors |
| 00:46:07 |
Someone is stitching up a hem, |
| 00:46:10 |
darning a hole in a uniform, |
| 00:46:13 |
patching a tire, |
| 00:46:15 |
repairing the things |
| 00:46:20 |
Someone is trying |
| 00:46:24 |
with a pair of wooden |
| 00:46:28 |
with cello, boom box, |
| 00:46:34 |
A woman and her son |
| 00:46:38 |
A farmer considers the changing sky; |
| 00:46:43 |
A teacher says: |
| 00:46:47 |
Begin." |
| 00:46:50 |
We encounter each other in words, |
| 00:46:54 |
words spiny or smooth, |
| 00:46:57 |
whispered or declaimed; |
| 00:46:59 |
words to consider, |
| 00:47:02 |
reconsider. |
| 00:47:04 |
We cross dirt roads |
| 00:47:08 |
the will of someone |
| 00:47:12 |
"I need to see |
| 00:47:16 |
I know there's something |
| 00:47:20 |
We need to find a place |
| 00:47:24 |
We walk into that |
| 00:47:30 |
Say it plain, |
| 00:47:32 |
that many have died for this day. |
| 00:47:36 |
Sing the names of the dead |
| 00:47:41 |
who laid the train tracks, |
| 00:47:47 |
picked the cotton and the lettuce, |
| 00:47:50 |
built brick by brick |
| 00:47:55 |
they would then keep clean |
| 00:48:00 |
Praise song for struggle; |
| 00:48:03 |
praise song for the day. |
| 00:48:06 |
Praise song |
| 00:48:11 |
The figuring it out |
| 00:48:15 |
Some live |
| 00:48:20 |
Others by first do no harm, |
| 00:48:23 |
or take no more than you need. |
| 00:48:27 |
What if the mightiest word is love, |
| 00:48:34 |
love beyond marital, |
| 00:48:40 |
Love that casts |
| 00:48:45 |
Love with no need |
| 00:48:50 |
In today's sharp sparkle, |
| 00:48:56 |
anything can be made, |
| 00:48:59 |
any sentence begun. |
| 00:49:02 |
On the brink, on the brim, |
| 00:49:08 |
praise song for walking |
| 00:49:29 |
And now it's my privilege to introduce |
| 00:49:34 |
to deliver "The Benediction." |
| 00:49:57 |
God of our weary years, |
| 00:50:03 |
God of our silent tears, |
| 00:50:07 |
thou who has brought us |
| 00:50:12 |
thou who has by thy might led us |
| 00:50:16 |
keep us forever |
| 00:50:21 |
lest our feet |
| 00:50:23 |
stray from the places, our God, |
| 00:50:27 |
lest our hearts, |
| 00:50:31 |
we forget thee. |
| 00:50:33 |
Shadowed beneath thy hand |
| 00:50:36 |
may we forever stand |
| 00:50:39 |
true to thee, O God, |
| 00:50:45 |
We truly give thanks |
| 00:50:49 |
we've shared this day. |
| 00:50:52 |
We pray now, O Lord, |
| 00:50:56 |
Barack Obama, the 44th president |
| 00:51:00 |
of these United States, |
| 00:51:02 |
his family and his administration. |
| 00:51:06 |
He has come to this high office |
| 00:51:08 |
at a low moment |
| 00:51:10 |
in the national and, |
| 00:51:15 |
But because we know you got |
| 00:51:20 |
we pray for not only our nation, |
| 00:51:23 |
but for the community of nations. |
| 00:51:25 |
Our faith does not shrink, |
| 00:51:28 |
though pressed |
| 00:51:31 |
For we know that, Lord, you're able |
| 00:51:35 |
and you're willing to work through |
| 00:51:40 |
to restore stability, |
| 00:51:43 |
mend our brokenness, heal our wounds |
| 00:51:47 |
and deliver us |
| 00:51:53 |
or the least of these |
| 00:51:55 |
and from favoritism |
| 00:52:00 |
We thank you |
| 00:52:03 |
our 44th president, |
| 00:52:08 |
yes, we can work together |
| 00:52:11 |
to achieve a more perfect union. |
| 00:52:14 |
And while we have sown the seeds |
| 00:52:17 |
of greed the wind |
| 00:52:21 |
and even as we reap the whirlwind |
| 00:52:27 |
we seek forgiveness |
| 00:52:29 |
and we come in a spirit |
| 00:52:33 |
to commit our support |
| 00:52:37 |
by our willingness |
| 00:52:40 |
to respect your creation, |
| 00:52:43 |
to turn to each other |
| 00:52:47 |
And now, Lord, in the complex arena |
| 00:52:52 |
help us to make choices |
| 00:52:58 |
on the side of inclusion, |
| 00:53:02 |
tolerance, not intolerance. |
| 00:53:05 |
And as we leave this mountaintop, |
| 00:53:09 |
help us to hold |
| 00:53:13 |
and the oneness of our family. |
| 00:53:17 |
Let us take that power back |
| 00:53:20 |
our workplaces, our churches, |
| 00:53:25 |
or wherever we seek your will. |
| 00:53:28 |
Bless President Barack, |
| 00:53:31 |
Look over our little angelic |
| 00:53:36 |
We go now |
| 00:53:39 |
pledging that we won't get weary |
| 00:53:44 |
We know you will not leave us alone, |
| 00:53:47 |
with your hands of power |
| 00:53:51 |
Help us then, now, Lord, |
| 00:53:54 |
when nation shall not lift up |
| 00:53:58 |
when tanks will be |
| 00:54:02 |
when every man and every woman |
| 00:54:05 |
shall sit under his or her own vine |
| 00:54:09 |
and none shall be afraid; |
| 00:54:11 |
when justice will |
| 00:54:14 |
and righteousness |
| 00:54:18 |
Lord, in the memory of all the saints |
| 00:54:23 |
and in the joy of a new beginning, |
| 00:54:28 |
we ask you to help us |
| 00:54:31 |
when black will not be asked |
| 00:54:34 |
when brown can stick around |
| 00:54:38 |
when yellow will be mellow |
| 00:54:41 |
when the red man can get ahead, man |
| 00:54:44 |
and when white |
| 00:54:48 |
Let all those who do justice |
| 00:54:52 |
Amen! |
| 00:54:54 |
- Say amen! |
| 00:54:56 |
- ... and Amen! |
| 00:55:06 |
An inspiring Benediction there |
| 00:55:09 |
one of the greatest figures |
| 00:55:12 |
As we appraoch the end |
| 00:55:15 |
there will be the national anthem |
| 00:55:18 |
President Obama and the First Lady |
| 00:55:21 |
will depart the stage. |
| 00:55:23 |
Ladies and gentlemen, please rise |
| 00:55:28 |
by the United States |
| 00:55:32 |
Following the anthem, |
| 00:55:35 |
while the presidential party |
| 00:55:38 |
Thank you very much. |
| 00:55:46 |
Oh, say, can you see, |
| 00:55:52 |
What so proudly we hailed |
| 00:55:56 |
at the twilight's last gleaming? |
| 00:56:00 |
Whose broad stripes |
| 00:56:04 |
thro' the perilous fight' |
| 00:56:08 |
O'er the ramparts we watched, |
| 00:56:12 |
were so gallantly streaming |
| 00:56:17 |
And the rockets red glare, |
| 00:56:21 |
the bombs bursting in air, |
| 00:56:25 |
Gave proof through the night |
| 00:56:30 |
that our flag was still there. |
| 00:56:35 |
Oh, say, does that star-spangled |
| 00:56:40 |
banner yet wave... |
| 00:56:46 |
O'er the land of the free |
| 00:56:52 |
and the home... |
| 00:56:55 |
of the brave? |
