Summary note
"After Barack Obama took the oath of office on January 20, 2009, he delivered the 56th inaugural address in U.S. history. The tradition of giving inaugural speeches dates back more than two centuries, beginning with that of George Washington in 1789. Since then, every elected president has addressed the nation after taking the oath of office. By turns inspiring, uplifting, and informative, inaugural addresses capture the spirit of the times and mood of the country every four years. Some rank among the landmark speeches in U.S. history, particularly the inaugural addresses of presidents Thomas Jefferson in 1801, Abraham Lincoln in 1865, Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, and John F. Kennedy in 1961." "This volume includes the original text of all 56 inaugural speeches - including that of President Obama in 2009 - each with an explanatory essay. Highlighting key themes and issues, these 56 essays provide valuable historical context and enlightening background perspective essential to understanding each inaugural address."--BOOK JACKET.
