Will he?

Will Obama try to tackle the causes of the crisis during his inauguration speech? Will he say what must be obvious to any candid observer of politics in the United States: that the crisis is the result of the corruption of the political system? Will he incriminate the power structure?

He probably won't and he will thus miss the opportunity of making his presidency an important one from the get go. Or at least, by postponing this obvious diagnostic, he will lose a couple of years before starting real reform.
