But memorable turns of phrase like President Roosevelt’s are more the exception than the rule when it comes to inaugural addresses.
Former President Barack Obama in his memoir noted that singer Aretha Franklin’s showy hat and a glitch in Chief Justice John Roberts’s administration of the oath of office got more attention than his speech in the days following the first black president’s address, delivered as the nation was mired in recession and a growing malaise over two intractable wars.
