A Yummy President's Day

In honor of President's Day the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. displayed presidential portraits, made of cupcakes! The artist used over 5,000 cupcakes to create the faces of Presidents Lincoln and Obama. What a fun idea! For a cute story on the event, NPR has more!

Obama-rama

Barack Obama was sworn in at noon on Tuesday, as the 44th President of the United States. This was a monumental and powerful day in our US history. To many people this marks a change to come for our economy, politics, and society. The obvious watershed is that Obama is the first African American to be elected President. The real reason for the commotion is that the new President is really moving. Shutting down Guantanamo Bay Prison, freezing Washington-aides' salaries, and talking to Middle East leaders about change..all in a day's work!


Here's how Will Ferrel (as Dubyah) introduced the new President:

"It's sad, but change is necessary. Without change, we'd all wear the same clothes every day... So I'm leaving the White House to go tear it down at some new party hole. But don't worry: the Tiger Woods guy's taking over. He seems to know a lot of stuff."


And here's another tip.
