Obama Proclaims His Inauguration Day A National Holiday
It appears as though there is a new National Holiday- “National Day of Hope and Resolve”. This is the White House Release on Obama’s Proclamation for yesterday, the day of his second inauguration. The pomp and circumstance isn’t enough, he needs to remind the entire country that it’s ALL about him.
NATIONAL DAY OF HOPE AND RESOLVE, 2013
– – – – – – –
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Four years ago, the American people came together to chart a new course through an uncertain hour. We chose hope over fear and hard work during hardship, confident that the age-old values that had guided our Nation through even its darkest days would be sufficient to meet the trials of our time.
Together, we have brought a decade of war toward a responsible end. We have saved our economy from collapse and fought for a future where everyone has an equal chance at opportunity. Millions of men, women, and children have made service their mission, reaffirming that America’s greatest strength lies not in might or wealth, but in the bonds we share with one another.
Today, I have sworn an oath to preserve the fundamental freedoms and protections that are the lasting birthright of all who call this land home. I stand humbled by the responsibilities entrusted to me by our people, and I pray God’s grace will see us through the tests we will surely face in the days ahead. But even as I assume once more the solemn duty of this Presidency, let us also remember that the oath I spoke shares much in common with those taken by every service member and every immigrant, and with the pledge we make before our flag. These are the words of America’s citizens, and they represent our greatest hope.
On the opposite end of the National Mall from where I delivered my address, a preacher once told us “we cannot walk alone.” Empowered by our faith in each other and united by the purpose that binds our fates as one, let us learn again that most enduring lesson. Let us renew our resolve to meet the challenges of our age together. And when our grandchildren reflect on the history we leave, let them say we did what was required of us, that our words were true to our Founders’ dreams for a young Republic and our actions foretold the dawn of a new and brighter day.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 21, 2013, a National Day of Hope and Resolve. I call upon all Americans to join together in courage, in compassion, and in purpose to more fully realize the eternal promises of our founding and the more perfect Union that must remain ever within our reach.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand thirteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh.
BARACK OBAMA
That may be the most insensitive, self aggrandizing, thing he has done. That “preacher” who spoke at the other end of the mall happens to have already claimed 21 January 2013 as a “Day of Service”, in his memory, but memories in Washington seem to be shorter than the lives of subatomic particles
He was inaugurated on Martin Luther King day, which is what he was talking about. It was already a holiday. For God’s sake, anyone with access to any search engine could easily find out this article is false, don’t believe things automatically without doing any research into them. Regardless of your party you should get your news from less biased sources, not just ones that tell you what you want to hear in order to fuel your anger towards the opposite party. This will just keep you ignorant, regardless of what side you’re on.
“For God’s sake, anyone with access to any search engine could easily find out this article is false.”
What are you talking about?? It’s posted on the White House’s own website. Hmmm, easily found that with my access to a search engine.
Ummmmm – than how do you explain this link from Whitehouse.gov: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/01/21/presidential-proclamation-national-day-hope-and-resolve-2013
to quote you “don’t believe things automatically without doing any research into them”
You’re quite ignorant, aren’t you!? CDN does not post anything without using authenticated sources. Why don’t you take your own advice and go to the WH website and see for yourself before you sink further into the pit.
Hey pal, it’s not a matter of sides it is the point we are ‘ALL’ living between the same shores east and west and borders north and south. Seems to me that ‘he ‘ is the one who is being COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON in the country today. To even leave out the suggestion that he might consider something like this is……Well you can put your own words actions to it…

What an arrogant, pompass jerk-off!!
I’D RATHER WORK AND IT WAS MLK DAY TO ME
Wonder if He wants it named King Obama day since He was sworn in on Martin Luther King day
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PREPOSTEROUS, THE ARROGANCE AND UTTER CONCEIT OF THIS BIGOT, TO DECLARE A HOLIDAY IN HIS ASSUMED NAME AND CLAIM TO DO SO UNDER THE POWER VESTED IN IT BY THE VERY CONSTITUTION HE DOESN’T EVEN RECOGNIZE NOR DOES HE ACKNOWLEDGE. IT JUST GETS WORSE ALL THE TIME
REALLY…. REALLY……R E A L L Y ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I read his speech twice and nowhere did the president himself say the word holiday. Howerver
I did read where he proclaimed Jan.21,2013 was
to be a National Day of Hope and Resolve. So could
you please explain your statement. I think the word
holiday was place in his mouth. Above his speech.
Phuck Obama. He is an ILEAGAL Turd in the greatest office on this planet. Fire his fake ass today!
And. take that thing Michelle out with the trach as well. Then, we can get to the business of jailing the criminal treasonious bankers.
And three days later, they killed Caligula, albeit 1972 yrs earlier.
