But now, all Americans hold within our hands the promise of a new beginning,\u201d Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address, which touched on themes he promised to address at the inauguration Tuesday. \u201cThat is why the events of the next several days are not simply about the inauguration of an American president \u2013 they will be a celebration of the American people.\u201d<br><br>He made the remarks as he prepared to set out Saturday on a symbolic train trip from Philadelphia to Washington, retracing the steps that Abraham Lincoln took ahead of his inauguration in 1861. Obama leaves Philadelphia at noon, picks up Vice President-elect Joe Biden in Wilmington, Del., and finishes the public portion of the trip in Baltimore at 4:15 p.m. with a rally.<br><br>The train trip marks the start of what is likely to be an emotional four days for Obama, who gave a rare peek Friday into how the historic nature of his presidency is affecting him. He acknowledged \u201cchoking up\u201d during practice sessions for his Democratic convention speech in August when he touched upon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s accomplishments and began reflecting on his own journey.<br><br>\u201cWell, I\u2019m going to try to keep it together,\u201d Obama said of the inaugural speech, in an interview with CNN. \u201c(Y)ou think about all the women who walked instead of riding the bus, out in Montgomery and Birmingham and what a moment like this would mean to them and what\u2019s remarkable is some of them are still alive. They\u2019re still there and some of them are going to be standing there at the inauguration.\u201d<br><br>Obama\u2019s wife, Michelle, and his two daughters will join him on the train, along with some of his longest-serving aides, giving the day-long trip the feel of a victory lap into Washington after one of the longest campaigns in modern history.<br><br>Sixteen families from 15 states were also invited to ride with the Obamas, chosen based on their \u201cextraordinary contributions to the life of this country,\u201d according to the transition team.<br><br>Obama has spoken of using his inaugural speech to capture the peril and promise of the new day, and in his radio remarks, he called this \u201ca time of great challenge for the American people.\u201d<br><br>\u201cDifficult days are upon us, and even more difficult days lie ahead,\u201d Obama said in his radio and Internet remarks. \u201cOur nation is at war. Our economy is in great turmoil. And there is so much work that must be done to restore peace and advance prosperity. But as we approach this time-honored American tradition, we are reminded that our challenges can be met if we summon the spirit that has sustained our democracy since George Washington took the first oath of office.\u201d<br><br>Obama also says that inauguration itself is a reminder of the power of democracy, a peaceful transition of power from leader to the next, one party to the other. \u201cEven today billions of people around the world cannot imagine their leaders giving up power without strife or bloodshed,\u201d he said.<br><br>And he thanked outgoing President George W. Bush and his team, who have \u201cextended the hand of cooperation, and provided invaluable assistance to my team as we prepare to hit the ground running on January 20.\u201d</i><br><br>THERE IS A VIDEO.<br><br><a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/17/obamas-whistle-stop-tour-_n_158717.html\" rel=\"nofollow\"><b>ALL ABOARD!!</b>Obama's Whistle-Stop Train Tour Kicking Off In Philadelphia Obama's Whistle-Stop Train Tour Kicking Off In Philadelphia</a><br><br><i><br><br>PHILADELPHIA \u2014 President-elect Barack Obama, tracing the train route Abraham Lincoln took nearly a century and a half ago, undertook the final leg of his inaugural journey to the nation's capital Saturday, pledging to reclaim America's spirit but also warning of steep challenges facing the country.<br><br>\"Starting now, let's take up in our own lives the work of perfecting our union,\" he said at Philadelphia's historic 30th Street train station. \"Let's build a government that is responsible to the people and accept our own responsibilities as citizens to hold our government accountable. ... Let's make sure this election is not the end of what we do to change America, but the beginning and the hope for the future.\"<br><br>While talking about the future, Obama reflected on the past, echoing the words of the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln and President John F. Kennedy. He cited the founding fathers who risked all without assurance of success in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776.<br><br>\"They were willing to put all they were and all they had on the line _ their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor _ for a set of ideals that continue to light the world: That we are equal. That our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness come not from our laws, but from our maker. And that a government of, by, and for the people can endure.\"<br><br>It was a momentous day for the Obamas. And for Michelle Obama, it was also time to celebrate her 45th birthday.<br><br>The president-elect's triumphant day _ a time to be heralded by cheering throngs along the 137-mile rail route _ was starting in Philadelphia with a sober discussion of the country's future with 41 people he met during his long quest for the White House.</a><br><br><b>GOD BLESS THEM!!</b>   :&gt;)     :&gt;)</i>", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-01-17_12:09:49", "killed": false, "user_key": "GreenLadyHere", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "10 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "5240044": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Whistle Stop Post Up, Complete With Pictures", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-01-17_13:12:51", "killed": false, "user_key": "rikyrah", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": true, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "10 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "5238482": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": true, "message": "You know I speak the truth.

But now, all Americans hold within our hands the promise of a new beginning,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address, which touched on themes he promised to address at the inauguration Tuesday. “That is why the events of the next several days are not simply about the inauguration of an American president – they will be a celebration of the American people.”<br><br>He made the remarks as he prepared to set out Saturday on a symbolic train trip from Philadelphia to Washington, retracing the steps that Abraham Lincoln took ahead of his inauguration in 1861. Obama leaves Philadelphia at noon, picks up Vice President-elect Joe Biden in Wilmington, Del., and finishes the public portion of the trip in Baltimore at 4:15 p.m. with a rally.<br><br>The train trip marks the start of what is likely to be an emotional four days for Obama, who gave a rare peek Friday into how the historic nature of his presidency is affecting him. He acknowledged “choking up” during practice sessions for his Democratic convention speech in August when he touched upon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s accomplishments and began reflecting on his own journey.<br><br>“Well, I’m going to try to keep it together,” Obama said of the inaugural speech, in an interview with CNN. “(Y)ou think about all the women who walked instead of riding the bus, out in Montgomery and Birmingham and what a moment like this would mean to them and what’s remarkable is some of them are still alive. They’re still there and some of them are going to be standing there at the inauguration.”<br><br>Obama’s wife, Michelle, and his two daughters will join him on the train, along with some of his longest-serving aides, giving the day-long trip the feel of a victory lap into Washington after one of the longest campaigns in modern history.<br><br>Sixteen families from 15 states were also invited to ride with the Obamas, chosen based on their “extraordinary contributions to the life of this country,” according to the transition team.<br><br>Obama has spoken of using his inaugural speech to capture the peril and promise of the new day, and in his radio remarks, he called this “a time of great challenge for the American people.”<br><br>“Difficult days are upon us, and even more difficult days lie ahead,” Obama said in his radio and Internet remarks. “Our nation is at war. Our economy is in great turmoil. And there is so much work that must be done to restore peace and advance prosperity. But as we approach this time-honored American tradition, we are reminded that our challenges can be met if we summon the spirit that has sustained our democracy since George Washington took the first oath of office.”<br><br>Obama also says that inauguration itself is a reminder of the power of democracy, a peaceful transition of power from leader to the next, one party to the other. “Even today billions of people around the world cannot imagine their leaders giving up power without strife or bloodshed,” he said.<br><br>And he thanked outgoing President George W. Bush and his team, who have “extended the hand of cooperation, and provided invaluable assistance to my team as we prepare to hit the ground running on January 20.”</i><br><br>THERE IS A VIDEO.<br><br><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/17/obamas-whistle-stop-tour-_n_158717.html" rel="nofollow"><b>ALL ABOARD!!</b>Obama\'s Whistle-Stop Train Tour Kicking Off In Philadelphia Obama\'s Whistle-Stop Train Tour Kicking Off In Philadelphia</a><br><br><i><br><br>PHILADELPHIA — President-elect Barack Obama, tracing the train route Abraham Lincoln took nearly a century and a half ago, undertook the final leg of his inaugural journey to the nation\'s capital Saturday, pledging to reclaim America\'s spirit but also warning of steep challenges facing the country.<br><br>"Starting now, let\'s take up in our own lives the work of perfecting our union," he said at Philadelphia\'s historic 30th Street train station. "Let\'s build a government that is responsible to the people and accept our own responsibilities as citizens to hold our government accountable. ... Let\'s make sure this election is not the end of what we do to change America, but the beginning and the hope for the future."<br><br>While talking about the future, Obama reflected on the past, echoing the words of the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln and President John F. Kennedy. He cited the founding fathers who risked all without assurance of success in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776.<br><br>"They were willing to put all they were and all they had on the line _ their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor _ for a set of ideals that continue to light the world: That we are equal. That our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness come not from our laws, but from our maker. And that a government of, by, and for the people can endure."<br><br>It was a momentous day for the Obamas. And for Michelle Obama, it was also time to celebrate her 45th birthday.<br><br>The president-elect\'s triumphant day _ a time to be heralded by cheering throngs along the 137-mile rail route _ was starting in Philadelphia with a sober discussion of the country\'s future with 41 people he met during his long quest for the White House.</a><br><br><b>GOD BLESS THEM!!</b>   :&gt;)     :&gt;)</i></div>\

Nor did the posters and e-mails promoting the concert Friday in this southern Chinese boomtown where he played piano to raise money for orphans.<br>But the 200 or so people who showed up for the fundraiser at a posh hotel resort knew the man in a Chinese-style brown silk shirt was the half brother of President-elect Barack Obama. They had a rare encounter with Ndesandjo, who has been dodging the media since his family ties were made public last summer.<br><br>Ndesandjo\'s reluctance to play up his famous relative is extremely unusual in China, where people commonly name drop and use their connections to advance their interests. In China, relationships, or "guanxi," with powerful people are golden and rarely wasted in winning new business or opening other doors.<br>As his Chinese wife watched, Ndesandjo began his performance with a Chinese tune called "Liuyang River" followed by what he said was "Chopin\'s First Nocturne." His third and final piece was a jazz tune by Fats Waller called "Viper\'s Drag."<br><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/16/mark-ndesandjo-obamas-hal_n_158692.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/16/mark-n...</a></div>\
