• Presidential inaugural addresses and American political culture.

The inaugural addresses of the presidents of the US have eleven common features that are very much a part of the American political culture. They feature civic virtue, nonpartisanship, national unity, general policy principles, cooperation with Congress, popular support, a providential supreme being, the American mission, political continuity, the president's role, and federalism.

• Commentary: Regional Perspectives: Here's a Capital Idea-- Investment in Infrastructure

The U.S. Department of Labor's November employment report brought grim news: 533,000 jobs lost. The just-released December report, indicating another 524,000 jobs shed by the nation's employers, virtually guarantees the crafting of a massive economic stimulus package by the 111th Congress.

• Four Embarking On Second Terms

Today, George W. Bush will deliver the 55th presidential inaugural address in the nation's history. He will be only the third president to deliver a second inaugural speech while America is at war. In this solemn capacity, President Bush joins James Madison and Abraham Lincoln. There have been 15 presidential elections since World War II, and Mr. Bush will be the fifth president to deliver a second inaugural address. Only two of the previous four (Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan) ended their presidencies without being impeached (Bill Clinton) or being forced to resign (Richard Nixon). A review of the second inaugural addresses of these four men, who were each elected twice to the presidency in the postwar period, offers interesting perspectives in terms of both history and rhetoric.

John Baldacci addresses lawmakers and the public tonight, he will be continuing a tradition that dates back to Maine's earliest days as a state and the first man to hold the office of chief executive. Gov. William King delivered the first such speech on June 2, 1820. For the next 60 years, successive governors delivered their "inaugural addresses" each January after what were then annual gubernatorial elections.
