A Day For All Americans To Celebrate
Statement
Issues: Executive Branch
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement on the inauguration of President Barack Obama:
"Inauguration Day is a day for all Americans to celebrate. For more than two centuries, the peaceful transfer of power between U.S. presidents has served as an inspiration to millions here and around the world. And on this Inauguration Day, we witness another inspiring event as America's first African American president takes the oath of office from the Capitol steps. I congratulate President Obama and his family on this historic day.
