I thank President Bush for his servie to our nation

2、, as ell as the generosit and ooperation he has shon throughout this transition. Fort-four Amerians have no taken the presidential oath. The ords have been spoken during rising tides of prosperit and the still aters of peae. Yet, ever so often the oath is taken amidst gathering louds and raging stor

3、ms. At these moments, Ameria has arried on not simpl beause of the skill or vision of those in high offie, but beause We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding douments. So it has been. So it must be ith this generation of Amerians. That e are in

4、the midst of risis is no ell understood. Our nation is at ar, against a far-reahing netork of violene and hatred. Our eonom is badl eakened, a onsequene of greed and irresponsibilit on the part of some, but also our olletive failure to make hard hoies and prepare the nation for a ne age. Homes have

5、been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health are is too ostl; our shools fail too man; and eah da brings further evidene that the as e use energ strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indiators of risis, subjet to data and statistis. Less measurable but no less p

6、rofound is a sapping of onfidene aross our land - a nagging fear that Amerias deline is inevitable, and that the next generation must loer its sights. Toda I sa to ou that the hallenges e fae are real. The are serious and the are man. The ill not be met easil or in a short span of time. But kno this

7、, Ameria - the ill be met. On this da, e gather beause e have hosen hope over fear, unit of purpose over onflit and disord. On this da, e e to prolaim an end to the pett grievanes and false promises, the reriminations and orn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politis. We remain a

8、oung nation, but in the ords of Sripture, the time has e to set aside hildish things. The time has e to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to hoose our better histor; to arr forard that preious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all a

9、re free, and all deserve a hane to pursue their full measure of happiness. In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, e understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journe has never been one of short-uts or settling for less. It has not been the path for thefaint-hearted - for

10、 those ho prefer leisure over ork, or seek onl the pleasures of rihes and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some elebrated but more often men and omen obsure in their labor, ho have arried us up the long, rugged path toards prosperit and freedom. For us, th

11、e paked up their fe orldl possessions and traveled aross oeans in searh of a ne life. For us, the toiled in seatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the hip and ploed the hard earth. For us, the fought and died, in plaes like Conord and Gettsburg; Normand and Khe Sanh. Time and again thes

12、e men and omen struggled and sarified and orked till their hands ere ra so that e might live a better life. The sa Ameria as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differenes of birth or ealth or fation. This is the journe e ontinue toda. We remain the most prosperous,

13、 poerful nation on Earth. Our orkers are no less produtive than hen this risis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and servies no less needed than the ere last eek or last month or last ear. Our apait remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of proteting narro interests and

14、putting off unpleasant deisions - that time has surel passed. Starting toda, e must pik ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the ork of remaking Ameria. For everhere e look, there is ork to be done. The state of the eonom alls for ation, bold and sift, and e ill at - not onl to reate ne

15、 jobs, but to la a ne foundation for groth. We ill build the roads and bridges, the eletri grids and digital lines that feed our mere and bind us together. We ill restore siene to its rightful plae, and ield tehnologs onders to raise health ares qualit and loer its ost. We ill harness the sun and th

16、e inds and the soil to fuel our ars and run our fatories. And e ill transform our shools and olleges and universities to meet the demands of a ne age. All this e an do. And all this e ill do. No, there are some ho question the sale of our ambitions - ho suggest that our sstem annot tolerate too man big plans. Their memories are short. For the have forgotten hat this ountr has alread done; hat free men and omen an ahieve hen imagination is joined to mon purpose, and neessit to ourage.
