On day 2 men r sworn it, recall that we're a nation of laws, not men. For all the faults in our system, our system is our strength
by Gregory Wallace, CNN 1/21/2013 4:54:50 PM

Obama opens: "Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colour of our skin or the tenants of our faith or the origins of our names."
by Piers Morgan via twitter 1/21/2013 4:54:51 PM

One inarguable fact about #Obama - the rest of the world finds him articulate, engaging, intelligent and a great figurehead for America.
by Ari Fleischer via twitter 1/21/2013 4:55:51 PM

You can't go wrong citing the Declaration of Independence..

by Jim Acosta via twitter 1/21/2013 5:07:59 PM

Obama in #Inaug2013 address: "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law"
by Paul Begala via twitter 1/21/2013 5:08:12 PM

"Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall..." Beautiful alliteration of sacred stops on the struggle for freedom. #Inaug2013
by Dana Davidsen, CNN 1/21/2013 5:08:55 PM

Obama: "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well... Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm."
by Soledad O'Brien via twitter 1/21/2013 5:09:17 PM

"Seneca and Selma and stonewall". Linking civil rights fights... Then equal pay for women, gay marriage, voter suppression, immigration. Wow
by Gregory Wallace, CNN 1/21/2013 5:09:27 PM

Obama lands applause for his calls for equality on this Martin Luther King Jr. Day:
It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts.

Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.

Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote.

Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity, until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country.

Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.
