Obama: Martin Luther King

Obama Dept: Video: Washington gears up for Obama s inauguration Reuters Video Video, according to Globe and Mail. Mr. Obama was sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts during a brief ceremony with his family in the White House Blue Room, meeting the legal requirement that presidents officially take office on Jan. 20. Because that date fell on a Sunday this year, the traditional ceremonies surrounding the start of a president s term were put off to Monday, which coincides this year with the birthday of revered civil rights leader Martin Luther King. He was assassinated in 1968 and video: Meet Obama 2.0: Meaner, edgier and tougher than ever Video Video: Obama sworn in for second term (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
