I found President Barack Obama's inauguration speech to be truly excellent. He is truly an excellent speaker and along with his writing staff, a gifted person at crafting a message. Very inspiring and yet he speaks honestly and realistically, not just "fluff."
Also thought that Rick Warren's prayer was also well-crafted. (I agree it is odd to "evaluate" someone's prayer.) And it certainly did not have the unique ending of the benediction prayer... though that was pretty funny... and the God I believe in and know enjoys laughter too so I'm sure he's not offended!
One miscellaneous thought - and its totally unrelated to the inauguration: The children's song "The Farmer in the Dell" probably needs explaining for children in today's "order a computer online world!" (or Why is the farmer in the Dell and not the Toshiba or the HP or a Mac?)
