Notably Absent from Obama Inauguration Speech

Notably absent from the Obama Inauguration Speech were:
---an acknowledgement that an alarmingly high percentage of all Americans of today are addicted to illicit drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products, and that American society is severely undermined by those three societal malaises.
---a declaration that government has a moral responsibility to foster a massive increase in the drug-treatment, alcohol-treatment, and tobacco-treatment industries throughout this country, and that the additional jobs created by expansion in those industries will also help to reduce the unemployment rate.
---an acknowledgement that the percentage of Americans who have felony-conviction reocrds is shockingly high (no such statistic was cited), and that the federal government and American society should strive to foster a long-term increase in the percentage of all Americans who have no felony-conviction record.
---an acknowledgement that employment-related training programs need to offer more assistance with locution enhancement, norms of professional conduct, and proper hygiene on the part of all Americans seeking employment.
---a declaration that a massive nationwide increase in the natural-resources recycling industry as soon as possible will provide urgently-needed new jobs while also helping to realign our national economy toward greater promotion of the salutary societal goal of natural-resource conservation.
---a declaration that each and every American citizen and resident or visitor to the United States, and every tourist traveling anyhwere in the United States, has a moral obligation to participate as comprehensively as possible in natural-resource recycling anywhere and everywhere in this nation.
---a declaration that the national security of the United States is vitally dependent on the successful development of a nationwide and comprehensive natural-resources recycling program in which every American citizen will diligently and conscientiously participate on a year-round basis.
