Second Inaugural Address
Thursday, January 20, 2005
Draft #21
Vice President Cheney, Mr. Chief Justice, President Carter, President
Bush, President Clinton, reverend clergy, distinguished guests, fellow
citizens:
On this day, prescribed by law and marked by ceremony, we
celebrate the durable wisdom of our Constitution, and recall the deep
commitments that unite our country. I am grateful for the honor of this
hour, mindful of the consequential times in which we live, and determined
to fulfill the oath that I have sworn and you have witnessed.
At this second gathering, our duties are defined not by the words I
use, but by the history we have seen together. For a half century, America
defended our own freedom by standing watch on distant borders. After the
shipwreck of communism came years of relative quiet, years of repose,
years of sabbatical - and then there came a day of fire.
We have seen our vulnerability - - and we have seen its deepest
source. For as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment
and tyranny - prone to ideologies that feed hatred and excuse murder -
violence will gather, and multiply in destructive power, and cross the most
defended borders, and raise a mortal threat. There is only one force of
history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the
pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant,
and that is the force of human freedom.
We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: The
[
survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of
liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the
]
expansion of freedom in all the world.
America's vital interests and our deepest beliefs are now one. From
the day of our Founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman
on this earth has rights, and dignity, and matchless value, because they
bear the image of the Maker of Heaven and earth. Across the generations
we have proclaimed the imperative of self-government, because no one is
fit to be a master, and no one deserves to be a slave. Advancing these
1
ideals is the mission that created our Nation. It is the honorable
achievement of our fathers. Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation's
security, and the calling of our time.
So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth
of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with
the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.
This is not primarily the task of arms, though we will defend ourselves
and our friends by force of arms when necessary. Freedom, by its nature,
must be chosen, and defended by citizens, and sustained by the rule of law
and the protection of minorities. And when the soul of a nation finally
speaks, the institutions that arise may reflect customs and traditions very
different from our own. America will not impose our own style of
government on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others find their
own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way.
The great objective of ending tyranny is the concentrated work of
generations. The difficulty of the task is no excuse for avoiding it.
America's influence is not unlimited, but fortunately for the oppressed,
America's influence is considerable, and we will use it confidently in
freedom's cause.
My most solemn duty is to protect this nation and its people against
further attacks and emerging threats. Some have unwisely chosen to test
America's resolve, and have found it firm.
We will persistently clarify the choice before every ruler and every
nation: The moral choice between oppression, which is always wrong, and
freedom, which is eternally right. America will not pretend that jailed
dissidents prefer their chains, or that women welcome humiliation and
servitude, or that any human being aspires to live at the mercy of bullies.
We will encourage reform in other governments by making clear that
success in our relations will require the decent treatment of their own
people. America's belief in human dignity will guide our policies, yet rights
must be more than the grudging concessions of dictators; they are secured
by free dissent and the participation of the governed. In the long run, there
is no justice without freedom, and there can be no human rights without
human liberty.
2
Some, I know, have questioned the global appeal of liberty - though
this time in history, four decades defined by the swiftest advance of
freedom ever seen, is an odd time for doubt. Americans, of all people,
should never be surprised by the power of our own ideals. We do not
accept the existence of permanent tyranny because we do not accept the
possibility of permanent slavery. Eventually, the soul will not be chained,
and the mind will not be bound. Eventually, liberty will come to those who
love it.
Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world:
All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States
will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you
stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.
Democratic reformers facing repression, prison, or exile can know:
America sees you for who you are: the future leaders of your free country.
The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as
Abraham Lincoln did: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for
themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it."
The leaders of governments with long habits of control need to know:
To serve your people you must learn to trust them. Start on this journey of
progress and justice, and America will walk at your side.
And all the allies of the United States can know: we honor your
friendship, we rely on your counsel, and we depend on your help. Division
among free nations is a primary goal of freedom's enemies. The concerted
effort of free nations to promote democracy is a prelude to our enemies'
defeat.
Today, I also speak anew to my fellow citizens:
From all of you, I have asked patience in the hard task of securing
America, which you have granted in good measure. Our country has
accepted obligations that are difficult to fulfill, and would be dishonorable to
abandon. Yet because we have acted in the great liberating tradition of this
nation, tens of millions have achieved their freedom. And as hope kindles
3
hope, millions more will find it. By our efforts, we have lit a fire as well - a
fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those
who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach
the darkest corners of our world.
A few Americans have accepted the hardest duties in this cause - in
the quiet work of intelligence and diplomacy the idealistic work of helping
raise up free governments the dangerous and necessary work of fighting
our enemies. Some have shown their devotion to our country in deaths
that honored their whole lives - and we will always honor their names and
their sacrifice.
All Americans have witnessed this idealism, and some for the first
time. I ask our youngest citizens to believe the evidence of your eyes. You
have seen duty and allegiance in the determined faces of our soldiers. You
have seen that life is fragile, and evil is real, and courage triumphs. Make
the choice to serve in a cause larger than your wants, larger than yourself -
and in your days you will add not just to the wealth of our country, but to its
character.
[
America has need of idealism and courage, because we have
essential work at home - the unfinished work of American freedom. In a
world moving toward liberty, we are determined to show the meaning and
promise of liberty.
In America's ideal of freedom, citizens find the dignity and security of
economic independence, instead of laboring on the edge of subsistence.
This is the broader definition of liberty that motivated the Homestead Act,
the Social Security Act, and the G.I. Bill of Rights. And now we will extend
this vision by reforming great institutions to serve the needs of our time. To
give every American a stake in the promise and future of our country, we
will bring the highest standards to our schools, and build an ownership
society. We will widen the ownership of homes and businesses, retirement
savings and health insurance - preparing our people for the challenges of
life in a free society. By making every citizen an agent of his or her own
destiny, we will give our fellow Americans greater freedom from want and
fear, and make our society more prosperous and just and equal.
In America's ideal of freedom, the public interest depends on private
character - on integrity, and tolerance toward others, and the rule of
4
conscience in our own lives. Self-government relies, in the end, on the
governing of the self. That edifice of character is built in families, supported
by communities with standards, and sustained in our national life by the
truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the Mount, the words of the Koran, and the
varied faiths of our people. Americans move forward in every generation
by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before - ideals of justice
and conduct that are the same yesterday, today, and forever.
In America's ideal of freedom, the exercise of rights is ennobled by
service, and mercy, and a heart for the weak. Liberty for all does not mean
independence from one another. Our nation relies on men and women
who look after a neighbor and surround the lost with love. Americans, at
our best, value the life we see in one another, and must always remember
that even the unwanted have worth. And our country must abandon all the
habits of racism, because we cannot carry the message of freedom and the
baggage of bigotry at the same time.
From the perspective of a single day, including this day of dedication,
the issues and questions before our country are many. From the viewpoint
of centuries, the questions that come to us are narrowed and few. Did our
generation advance the cause of freedom? And did our character bring
credit to that cause?
These questions that judge us also unite us, because Americans of
every party and background, Americans by choice and by birth, are bound
to one another in the cause of freedom. We have known divisions, which
must be healed to move forward in great purposes - and I will strive in
good faith to heal them. Yet those divisions do not define America. We felt
the unity and fellowship of our nation when freedom came under attack,
and our response came like a single hand over a single heart. And we can
feel that same unity and pride whenever America acts for good, and the
victims of disaster are given hope, and the unjust encounter justice, and the
captives are set free.
We go forward with complete confidence in the eventual triumph of
freedom. Not because history runs on the wheels of inevitability; it is
human choices that move events. Not because we consider ourselves a
chosen nation; God moves and chooses as He wills. We have confidence
because freedom is the permanent hope of mankind, the hunger in dark
places, the longing of the soul. When our Founders declared a new order
5
of the ages; when soldiers died in wave upon wave for a union based on
liberty; when citizens marched in peaceful outrage under the banner
"Freedom Now" - they were acting on an ancient hope that is meant to be
fulfilled. History has an ebb and flow of justice, but history also has a
visible direction, set by liberty and the Author of Liberty.
When the Declaration of Independence was first read in public and
the Liberty Bell was sounded in celebration, a witness said, "It rang as if it
meant something." In our time it means something still. America, in this
young century, proclaims liberty throughout all the world, and to all the
inhabitants thereof. Renewed in our strength - tested, but not weary - we
are ready for the greatest achievements in the history of freedom.
May God bless you, and may He watch over the United States of
America.

Op-Ed for Washington Times Inauguration Issue
Thursday, January 20, 2005
By President George W. Bush
At noon today it will be my great honor to take the Presidential Oath
of Office for the second time. I am humbled by the trust and confidence of
my fellow citizens. With that trust comes a duty to serve all Americans, and
I will do my best to fulfill that duty every day as President.
Four years ago, I came to Washington with a commitment to solve
problems, instead of passing them on to future presidents and future
generations. I have tried to apply that principle to every decision I make in
the Oval Office. And I am proud of what we have achieved.
We provided historic tax relief for America's small businesses and
families - and now our economy is strong and creating jobs. We raised
standards and insisted on accountability in public schools - and now
children are making hopeful progress in reading and math. We
strengthened and modernized Medicare - and soon America's seniors will
have prescription drug coverage under Medicare.
These accomplishments met essential priorities, and they have made
America stronger for future generations. Yet our greatest duties have been
those that our country could not have envisioned on Inauguration Day four
years ago.
The attacks of September 11th, 2001 brought grief to our nation and
changed the course of history. Since that morning, our nation has fought
the terrorists across the earth so that we do not have to face them here at
home.
We are winning the war on terror because of the courage, idealism,
and sacrifice of the United States military. Our men and women in uniform
are making America safer and the world more peaceful. And my highest
honor as President is to serve as their Commander in Chief.
In this new war, the wisest use of American strength is to advance
freedom. America is more secure because the brutal tyrants of
Afghanistan have been replaced by a freely-elected President - the first in
that nation's 5,000-year existence. America is more secure because the
1
terror regime in Iraq is gone, and free Iraqis will soon choose their own
leaders.
One lesson of history is that free societies do not export terror. Free
governments respect the aspiration of their citizens and serve their hope for
a better life. Free nations are peaceful nations. For the sake of our
interests and our ideals, this great republic will always lead the cause of
freedom.
We are also working to expand freedom here at home. Over the next
four years, we will ease the burden of the complicated tax code by making
it simpler and fairer. We will protect entrepreneurs and workers from
frivolous lawsuits and needless regulation. We will make health care more
affordable and accessible for American families. We will continue the work
of education reform, especially in our public high schools. And we will fix
Social Security for our children and grandchildren.
These are large goals. They will affect every American, and they do
not belong to one politician or one party. Inaugurations are a time to leave
behind the partisan debates of a political year, and focus on the
opportunities that lie ahead. Working together, we can achieve important
results and lay the foundation for a stronger, more prosperous country.
In this time of change, some things do not change: the values we try
to live by, the institutions that give our lives meaning and purpose. America
is stronger because of the volunteer groups and faith-based charities that
provide a safety net of mercy and compassion. In our kind and decent
society, we have a special duty to protect the weak and the vulnerable.
I
will continue to lead this good-hearted nation toward a culture of life.
For all Americans, these years in our history will always stand apart.
There are quiet times in the life of a nation when little is expected of its
leaders or its people. This is not one of those times. This is a time that
requires firm resolve, clear vision, and the deep faith in the values that
make our nation strong.
I am optimistic about the future of our great country. I am grateful for
the opportunity to serve. And I know that for the United States of America,
the best days lie ahead.
2
May God continue to bless America and all who call it home.

four years, we will ease the burden of the complicated tax code by making
it simpler and fairer. We will protect entrepreneurs and workers from
frivolous lawsuits and needless regulation. We will make health care more
affordable and accessible for American families. We will continue the work
of education reform, especially in our public high schools. And we will fix
Social Security for our children and grandchildren.
These are large goals. They will affect every American, and they do
not belong to one politician or one party. Inaugurations are a time to leave
behind the partisan debates of a political year, and focus on the
opportunities that lie ahead. Working together, we can achieve important
results and lay the foundation for a stronger, more prosperous country.
In this time of change, some things do not change: the values we try
to live by, the institutions that give our lives meaning and purpose. America
is stronger because of the volunteer groups and faith-based charities that
provide a safety net of mercy and compassion. In our kind and decent
society, we have a special duty to protect the weak and the vulnerable. I
will continue to lead this good-hearted nation toward a culture of life.
For all Americans, these years in our history will always stand apart.
There are quiet times in the life of a nation when little is expected of its
leaders or its people. This is not one of those times. This is a time that
requires firm resolve, clear vision, and the deep faith in the values that
make our nation strong.
I am optimistic about the future of our nation. I am grateful for the
opportunity to serve. And I know that for the United States of America, the
best days lie ahead.

May God continue to bless our great country and all those who call it
home.

Scott McClellan, Press Secretary
The White House
1600 Pennsy Ivania Ave.
Washington DC
Dear Mr. McClellan,
We would be grateful to your office for allowing a portrait session with President Bush by our
staff member Mary Calvert in early January. We have planned a special section of The Washington Times
to honor his second inauguration, and his open letter from the Oval Office will become the text to
accompany this important picture. You may recall what a wonderful image Mary created of the president
for the front of a similar section in our newspaper four years ago.
Please allow me this opportunity to renew our other request that is already pending in your office.
Mary has proposed a behind-the-scenes look at the president's strong faith in God and his dedication to
prayer in the midst of the War on Terror. The American people have now expressed their trust in President
Bush again, in part because they understand that he is a man of faith. Mary would like to document his
course of an entire day, from start to finish, prayer to prayer.
We would like to have access to President Bush on a busy and challenging day. We are looking for
faith-based opportunities to photograph. Those could range from, private prayer in the residence, a prayer
circle, Bible study group, or any other quiet moment in the West Wing, whenever and wherever he practices
his faith.
We would like for Mary to complete this project by mid-January 2005.
If you would like to meet with Mary or myself to discuss this project, please contact us through
Mary's cell number 202/409-6494 or email: [email protected]
Sincerely yours,
I Ross Bia
