LAD #28: Wilson's First Inaugural

Wilson starts by practically apologizing for the recent Democratic shift in government.
He then chooses to idealize change as an attempt to restore the spirits of Republicans and his other opposition.
He then praises American identity and the American way to start off his address.
  He then says that the government under him will exist more on behalf of the people than it has before.
He puts down the industrial revolution and says that it is a time period behind America now.
He then lists the problems with the United States, including unfair tariff laws and big business, which is probably a statement of the Democratic platform.
He then turns more to domestic affairs including poverty and education.
He is clearly enamored with the idea of individual rights and talks about this for awhile.
He considers the day of his inauguration a day of dedication and promises that the will change America.
