Obama Inaguration Speech Hints at Innovative Change


Running on a campaign of CHANGE, Barack Obama has now completed the inauguration ceremony. This historic occasion may be a new turning point for innovators both in and outside of the United States. In the speech, President Obama states:

For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.


Also, promoting an innovative creed, he challenges Americans:

Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions - who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.


With uncompromising rhetorical flair, Obama has put forth an agenda that will use innovation and the resourcefulness of the American people to bring them out of arguably the greatest economic turmoil since the Great Depression. Moreover, he lays out that he path will not yield results immediately and that hard work will be required to get the job done.
