I liked Barack’s inauguration speech. It wasn’t as inspiring as expected, but what he said had real substance and was the kind of stuff that I wanted to hear. From what I’ve seen so far (not much) he is going to be a president I’ll like.

My favorite line?

“We will restore science to its rightful place”

I love it. After 8 years of Bush’s ideological and political meddling in science and science related policy this is something that I really, really wanted to hear.
