“I happen, temporarily, to occupy the White House. I
am a living witness that any of your children may come here as my father's
child has.”
-- Abraham Lincoln
A Presidential Inauguration
By: Doug Brimmer
Posted: Monday, January 19, 2009
Every four years the world is witness to an
event that is truly American, the Inauguration of the President of the
United States. It may be a time of Peace or time of War, the Economy
may be Strong or Weak, but the American people rally around an American
citizen, a Democrat or Republican, who takes an oath to uphold the
Constitution of the United States.
On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama will take this oath and become
the 43rd person to lead the nation as President of the United States.
All Americans should be proud of this moment and for at least this short
period of time put aside their political differences and join together in
celebration of this American event.
We at Cube Think are following the events leading up to the Inauguration and
hope you are too. Listed below are a number of articles that can help
you follow the Inauguration and hopefully educate you about this event as
well. If there are any other articles that you find interesting, we

The Oath of Office
By: Doug Brimmer
Posted: Monday, January 19, 2009
At 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20th,
President-elect Barack Obama will lay his left hand on the same Inaugural
Bible used by Abraham Lincoln and take the Oath of Office. Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, will administer the Oath.
As spelled out by the Constitution, Mr. Obama will recite the following
Oath:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I
will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and
will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States. So help me God."

I recently visited Washington D.C. with my
family and had an opportunity to view the document that makes the United
States the wonderful country that it is.
