After a slight slip of the tongue over his oath, Obama was sworn into office. In his speech, he appealed to the American people by recognizing the crisis at hand but restored their faith in the country and it’s future. Obama called the people to arms by reminding them of their forefathers, who worked “till their hands were raw” to build the nation. He did not speak of Bush’s axis of evil but instead offered a hand to any country seeking peace. The crowd received Obama’s words with nods and thunderous applause. The inaugural parade will begin at 2:30 and will travel down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.
