As I reflected on today’s inaugural events, I went back and watched some clips of inaugurations past, thanks to the folks at Hulu.

It’s very instructive to listen to President Reagan’s first inaugural address. He took office as the nation was facing a far more drastic economic situation that the present, and his words serve to warn us that if we try the tired, old, failed policies of the past, things can—and will—get worse.

Reagan’s plans stood in stark contradistinction to those we are about to embark upon.

See video from past inaugurations, from President McKinley, whose was the first to be filmed, at Hulu.
