Each president recites the following oath, in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:

“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.”

I am writing this post for you. This is another day in our history that deserves recognition and attention. You owe it to yourself and to the men and women who have fought for this country (in war, in office, or in grassroots assembly) to preserve its freedom and opportunity.

Watch the 2009 Presidential Inauguration live on your computer screen.

This is for the office space employees watching this historical event. Stop what you’re doing at 11am and tune in. Because if you have children someday, they might want to know where/what you were during this time. (I said If…!)

President-elect Obama talks about ways for everyone to participate in the Inauguration.

This inauguration isn’t about me. It’s about all of us.

And this is just a fun Adam Freeland rendition of Daft Punk’s “Aerodynamic” to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama.

The following is a mixed-media stop motion music video and celebration commemorating the election and inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth president of these United States. Audibly showcasing Adam Freeland’s remix of Daft Punk’s “Aerodynamic” and the imaginative stylings of forward thinking toy artists Dalek, Bill McMullen and Kubrick to name just a few. Independently animated and directed by the progressive minds of the directing team GOLD, the piece is a labor of love that invites everyone to join in or create their own celebration this coming Tuesday January the 20th.
