Reagan’s First Inaugural Address (1981)

I watched Reagan’s 1st Inaugural Address over at Denny Burk’s blog this morning (Denny’s been posting the inaugurals going all the way back to Coolidge).

The themes he addressed were very similar to the ones that we will here addressed tomorrow by President Obama. Words like “economic crisis,” and “terrorism” appear throughout. However, the solutions Reagan spoke of were markedly different from what we are likely to hear tomorrow. I recommend a listen for comparison purposes.
