      ***START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK INAUGURAL PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS***

      This file contains President Barack Obama's two inaugural addresses, Tuesday, January 20, 2009 and Monday, January 21, 2013.

Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

      These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but
