 * Oppose. Oh, if it only had that famous line. As it is now, this speech is no more noticeable than any of the other Presidential inaugural addresses. If you can find a version with that line, I would support. Clegs (talk) 00:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Sorry, but what's important here are the words, not the images (and the words aren't even complete). A quality photo of the inauguration would be every bit as useful as far as images are concerned, in fact, probably moreso. Since this is Featured Pictures, I don't see a lot here worth featuring. --jjron (talk) 07:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I encourage you to watch the entire clip-- it's professionally edited, and newsworthy, and captures just all of the important personalities associated with the event. It's a film about the inauguration itself, not just the use of a particular phrase in the speech.  Spikebrennan (talk) 22:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
