Barack Obama's Inaugural Address
This is Michael Hart's transcription of President Obama's Inaugural Speech.
It was typed my hand on a new computer, so there may be more errors than I would have liked if my old one hadn't died last night.
We will be combining this with other versions that will be coming in and a few references to the official version, but we will stick to what was said as opposed to the official script. My paragraphs will not always be the same length, punctuation not always the same, etc.
