Today is Inauguration Day in the US. Our president Barack Obama will be sworn in for his second term today. OK, so technically he was sworn in yesterday, but today is the public inauguration.
It’s a national celebration!
Today is also Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It’s a day to celebrate the life of a man as well as a movement he personifies.
It’s an important day today, for both the US and the world.
Congratulations Mr. President!
A Day to remember 🙂
Wishing your own good self a wonderful day … 🙂 Have a brilliant week also.. 🙂

Posted by earthriderjudyberman | January 21, 2013, 8:00 AMI did’nt know it was Inaugration day, ( not being in the US). don’t know if its a public holiday or anything, but I do know Martin Luther King was a great man, and anything done to keep his values alive always gets my support

Posted by Chancy and Mumsy (Mag) | January 21, 2013, 8:35 AMWe will celebrate Martin Luther King Jr Day in honor of equal treatment for black dogs and cats as they are still so often discriminated against. As for the inauguration, I will take a nap, we are not fans of politics in our house…just a bunch of clowns and actors making lots of money and going nothing at the expense of my dog treat supply.
Posted by Emmadog | January 21, 2013, 8:39 AMPerhaps if you knew how well you live on relation to dogs in other parts if the world you would feel differently.
Those who ignore politics are still responsible for the decisions made.
Posted by rumpydog | January 21, 2013, 10:04 AMQuite the confluence (VBP) of events and history. Glad you are celebrating Rumpy. Me too!
Posted by Savannah's Paw Tracks | January 21, 2013, 8:57 AMOur local newspaper publishes a different one of MLK Jr.’s speeches each birthday. I was only a toddler when he was killed but his words about race, poverty, and equality ring as true as ever.
I’d like to think, that as much as we still need to accomplish, he’d be pleased to see how far we’ve come.
Posted by somethingwagging | January 21, 2013, 9:54 AMWe celebrate another day in history. Praying for our President and our nation.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

Posted by Line of Serenity (Joyce Fields) | January 21, 2013, 10:47 PMOur mom dreads these days, and especially ones when people march on Washington. Living outside of DC, it disrupts everything and the traffic (which is very bad to start with) becomes horrendous. But, good wishes today to all. Its over until 4 years from now.
Posted by Oui Oui | January 21, 2013, 10:49 PMwell said Rumpy
Posted by Jo Bryant | January 22, 2013, 12:59 AMI am a TV news junkie all day long and read TIME and US NEWS since I was 15 but not anymore. First time I did not watch something like this. Am I a cynic now because all seems out and beyond control of everyday citizens ? I’ve lost interest.
