CNN: Obama's Inauguration Speech Likely To Be Carved In Marble Someday
[Link: www.cnn.com...]
My legs be tinglin’.
“President-elect Barack Obama’s inaugural address is one of the most anticipated speeches in decades, with many expecting his words to be chiseled into marble some day.
Many expect Barack Obama’s inauguration speech to compare to those given by Roosevelt and Kennedy.
Obama has said he has been studying previous inaugural addresses — including President Abraham Lincoln’s and the speeches President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave as he took office amid the Great Depression.
Given the nation’s current economic crisis, Errol Lewis, a columnist for the New York Daily News, was looking for Obama to echo Roosevelt’s famous 1933 inauguration address when he said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
“He’s got to calm the nation. I think he’s got to reassure the nation and let people know that we are in it for the long haul. If you look at that 1933 speech, that is pretty much what FDR did,” Lewis said.”
