So when I put my hand on the Bible, I will swear to not only uphold the laws of our land, I will swear to uphold the honor and dignity of the office to which I have been elected, so help me God. [God help you.]
I believe the presidency, the final point of decision in the American government, was made for great purposes. It is the office of Lincoln's conscience, of Teddy Roosevelt's energy, of Harry Truman's integrity and Ronald Reagan's optimism. [no comment]
For me, gaining this office is not the ambition of a lifetime, but it is the opportunity of a lifetime, and I will make the most of it.
I believe great decision are made with care, made with conviction, not made with polls. [perhaps it's time to be at least somewhat considerate of the opinions of the people you represent]
I do not need to take your pulse before I know my own mind. I do not reinvent myself at every turn. I am not running in borrowed clothes.
When I act, you will know my reasons. And when I speak, you will know my heart ... [unless it's one of those evil, hypocritical lies (see above)]
I believe true leadership is a process of addition, not an act of division.
I will not attack a part of this country because I want to lead the whole of it ... [I gag on those words even if he did not]
We are now the party of ideas and innovation, the party of idealism and inclusion, the party of a simple and powerful hope.
My fellow citizens, we can begin again.
After all of the shouting and all of the scandal, after all the bitterness and broken faith, we can begin again. [to break faith more -- and ruin more lives -- than those who came before]
The wait has been long, but it won't be long now.
A prosperous nation is ready to renew its purpose and unite behind great goals, and it won't be long now.
Our nation must renew the hopes of that boy I talked with in jail and so many like him, and it won't be long now.
Our country is ready for high standards and new leaders, and it won't be long now.
An era of tarnished ideals is giving way to a responsibility era, and it won't be long now. [I hope it will not be]
