Michael Waldman has done many political writings like 2 inaugural adressses and 4 State of the Union adresses. Bill is the author of "My Fellow Americans: The Most Important Presidential Speeches from George Washington to George W. Bush". He was also Former President Bill Clinton's speech writer. Waldman posted a list of rules when making a speech on top of his computor screen such as: "No quoting dead people". Waldman says Barack Obama looks up to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lincoln. As well as Martin Luther King JR. and Ghandi.

I think that today's inauguration will be one of the more historic inauguration simply because Obama is the first African American president of the United States. Obama's speech today will be remembered by so many Americans for a long time.
