Obama's Inaugural Speech

"Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true."

I believe that this was the most memorable section of President Barack Obama's inaugural speech. In this quote, the President asserts that the values that America was founded upon still resonate in today's ever-changing society. Modern day America faces challenges different than those of the past, however we will still overcome these obstacles by applying our traditional values with technological and diplomatic innovation. If the American citizens work hard enough to secure their future, while facing each day with confidence, they can overcome the rough economic times that have so quickly presented themselves.
