With Malice Toward None: You Can Help Write Obama's Inaguration Speech


Check out the gimmick here at Slate.

Actually, what you're writing is what Slate is calling, for now, "The People's Inagural Address."

When you click and register, you can craft your own speech. Software will guess at what you're trying to say and suggest phrases from some of the previous 55 presidential inagural addresses -- as well as phrases from other participants in the competition. Participants can rate all the speeches submitted.

Before Jan. 20, Slate will publish the speech with the highest rating.

  1. How about: "We are the ones we used to be waiting for."

    or

    "Ask not what you can do for your country, but how your country can help spread your wealth around."
