in an inaugural address.

Abby Huntsman ‏@HuntsmanAbby
"We shouldn't mistake absolutism for principle." Obama sends clear message to GOP.

SC Radio News Team ‏@scrnnews
Obama's line that got biggest applause in Columbia so far. Americans "should not have to wait hours in line to vote."

The Fix ‏@TheFix
Obama has already mentioned: gay rights, climate change, entitlements and voting rights. So, liberals will be VERY happy.

Wonderful speech!
