Today marks an exciting, historic day as we celebrate the Inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States. I hope that this day begins a season of positive change for our government and country. I have waited for this time with anticipation and optimism and look forward to a time where not only are the lives of the citizens of this country improved but also our relationship with the rest of the world. To mark this change, Whitehouse.gov has already received a beautiful facelift. What a great day for the United States.
