Obama's Inauguration is on Tuesday!!!
President Obama will be sworn in on Tuesday. He will become the 44th President of the United States of America. He will be sworn in using Lincoln's Bible. That is pretty fitting since Lincoln was also an Illinois politician and a leader who had to overcome a lot to hold the nation together. Lincoln ended slavery for Christ's sake. And it's also fitting that the inauguration will be the day after Martin Luther King, Jr Day. His dream was racial equality. It's only fitting that President Obama will be sworn in. He's from Illinois, like the man who ended slavery, and he will be the first African American president in American history. Obama is, in effect, the realization of MLK Jr's dream.
