My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

But he avoided any mention of marriage, gay people or same-sex couples during his brief invocation Tuesday. He inste ...
