I don't know what he will deliver, but the US and rest of the world are ecstatic about him, so that is a good start.

he minimized the rights of Americans, changed the fundamental basis of your freedoms, removed many of your opportunities to disagree, and bolstered the power the president has over the nation to a level never before seen.

but believe me, I am almost throwing confetti just to see Bush gone forever. I really hope he crawls back into the hole he came out of and doesn't come out again.

Globally, he made a mockery of America. He made the people a joke to be ridiculed (you voted him back in a second time!?).
Whenever he spoke, people around the world listened, but not with respect and admiration, with suspicion.
I stopped hearing a president in 2001, and I started hearing a maniacal CEO with delusions that he was in charge of the worlds largest corporation.

The fact that he is half African American has clouded many views of people. Some only voted for him because of his heritage, others voted against him for the same reason. I personally voted for him because of what he stands for. Now lets see if he is able to honor the wide changes he proposed. Only then will we know for sure if we made the right choice.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
