Get Your Inaugural Piggy Banks Here, Kids!
As millions of Barack-o-philes prepare to descend upon the nation's capital, the Presidential Inaugural Committee has opened a memorabilia store in downtown Washington, D.C.
Obama devotees who want a tangible reminder of the historic inauguration can purchase standard souvenir fare such as t-shirts, caps and coffee mugs. But there are also a few less conventional items for sale.
Livestrong wristbands were so 2004. For the low price of $4, you can purchase this blue Barack Obama wristband and wear it proudly to "remember the historic day of 01.20.09 every day."

Back in the day, it was new...
And now, to se we made a real difference, and it''s amazing to see the difference we made.
However, we got a whole new batch of teens and twenty-somethings who will take some twenty years to make their changes happen.
Interesting times ahead... indeed so. :)
