2009年1月20日12時，Mr. Change在美國國會大廈西側的露天平臺上，手按林肯當年宣誓時所用的《聖經》，正式宣誓就任美國第44任總統；此時，來自美國各地約2百萬人冒著零攝氏度以下的風寒，聚集在國會大廈西側至林肯紀念堂之間大約9平方公里的市中心區域內，觀看奧巴馬就職典禮。突然間，一隻烏鴨從林肯從紀念堂飛了出來，牠對著人群不斷地猛叫著，“Never change what we are！”；接著，牠說，“Never forget what Abraham Lincoln said：‘We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny.’(1864)”
