Obama's Inaugeral Speech

As expected, President Obama delivered a great speech yesterday. I actually stood on this very platform where Obama is speaking when I was in Washington in the fall.

I didn't see all of the speech but what I did see sounded great. The funny thing is that while Obama differs greatly from Bush on many domestic "big government" policies, his comments on foreign policy sounded very much like George W Bush. So much so that a couple of liberal comedians couldn't help but take a shot at him. It is really very funny. They took excerpts from Obama's speech and compared them to Bush. Some examples are:

Bush - Freedom is the universal gift of the almighty God
Obama - A God given promise that all are equal, all are free.

Bush - We will work with our friends and allies all across the world to defend our way of life.
Obama - We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waiver in its defense.

Bush - We can usher in a new era of enhanced prosperity and peace.
Obama - America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

Bush - Our generation advanced the cause of freedom.
Obama - We carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.
