Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!!! On Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 at 2:15 PM EST, President Obama’s media staff posted on his blog an announcement of his first proclamation. In it he proclaimed that January 20, 2009, will be a National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation, and calls upon all of citizens to serve one another and the common purpose of remaking this Nation for our new century. I’m not sure how long it takes other presidents to get working, but I’m sure this is just the beginning of things to come. It’s only fitting that his first one would be about service in the community. Time to get to work.

Full wording of proclamation

    2. Theo, Mr. President is serious and I first noticed as he took the stage in Grant Park, his expression was all bussiness and his speech after accepting the oath was serious as well. We are in good hands

    3. JD,

    I agree 100%. He was ready the day he announced he was running. I can respect that and hope he continues to have the energy to keep it up. I saw somewhere the President ages two years for every year in Office. It’s a tough job.

Tell me what you're thinking...
