I just love
Barack Obama

Inauguration Day was an incredible celebration for my immediate family—we had all campaigned long and hard in Orlando, Florida, where we were living at the time, despite enormous opposition from friends and coworkers.
The five of us skipped school and work and set up camp in front of our TV.

And as we remember this historic anniversary, we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.
