Obama's Inauguration Address Transcript

For those of you who missed it, here is the transcript of President Obama's inauguration address:

I didn't hear the address, but reading the transcript, this is my favorite part:

[I]t has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things – some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

In other news, stocks markets are down. The Dow is down 2.6%, and Nasdaq is down 4.2% in mid-day trading. It's got nothing to do with Obama's address--corporate earnings are still coming out, and people are scared.
