Barack Obama is poised to become the 44th President of the United States.  He will stand before America on Tuesday, February 20 and will take the oath of office on the steps of our nation’s capital.   See complete schedule of events here.

Barack and Michelle Obama grace the February 2009 covers of magazines throughout the world, including Ebony.  The family has been on a whirlwind pre-inauguration schedule.  They enjoyed a whistle-stop train trip, dubbed the Obama Express, from Philadelphia to Washington D.C. on Saturday, which was also Michelle’s 45th birthday.

The family graced the cover of Parade Magazine, a Sunday supplement that appeared in newspapers across the country yesterday.
