it inspired me, my favorite line was, "we will extend our hand if you unclench your fist!" I think he should have hit more on not forgetting the people who worked so hard to get us to were we are. the evangelicist (i cant spell) who spoke before him got me so mad! he gave a sermon, not a speech and obama gave the gay/lesbian community a huge slap in the face when obama asked Rick Warren(?) to speak.

I felt his speech was stirring and appropriate for the event. Broad strokes and ideas that emphasized the importance of solutions based on "we the people" not just government. Overall, I felt it provided for a cautiously optimistic future.

I thought it was inspirational, honest, and showed leadership. At this point I don't want to hear specifics, but I do want to get an idea of the direction, attitude, mentality, and vision of the new presidency.

I feel that our country has been hurt in the world's eyes in the last eight years. I think it was important that Obama addressed the rest of the world as well as the American people.

His comments about the market and throwing off old dogmas, without specifying what he was calling 'dogma', frightened me a little. His interventionist bent has more potential to do harm than good.

However, his comment about being leaders in cooperating with all peaceful nations was encouraging.

I was inspired -- I got chills. Barack Obama reminded me what it's like to have an intelligent and articulate leader at the helm.

It was disappointing, though, to hear Chief Justice Roberts mangle the oath of office. I mean come on, the thing is only 35 words long!

He tried, but should have been more specific about the point, "Government can't do it alone, it depends upon EVERYBODY!"

The speech was a good job, a transition from the primarily inspirational speeches of the candidacy to a call for everyone to take responsibility to fix the problems. He described the challenges facing the U.S., affirmed they were grav, then expressed confidence in the American people's ability to meet the challenge. Overall, inspirational and well delivered.

Wasn't a great speech. Very platitudinous and lacking of substance and philosophical coherence.

And how about that awful inaugural poem?  What a stinker that was.
