To me the whole idea that although the country may be a bit down it is up us all to pull it back up is very inclusive without trying too hard. It reminds me of Kennedy's message "Ask not for what your country can do for you, but for what you can do for your country," but I'm guessing that's what Obama is going for.
Well by the platform he ran on it was more of what the goverment can do for you more then anything else and thats one of my biggest problems with Obama. The speech was OK and maybe I'd say it was better if I heard it from him instead of reading it on line.

So he is now president (this is for any new president) and sits behind the desk for the first time do you think they get this feeling of "OK, now what".
