January 20, 2009 · Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in Tuesday as the 44th president of the United States, writing a new chapter in American history as the first African-American to hold the nation's highest office.
With his hand on the gilt-edged, burgundy Bible used by President Lincoln in 1861, Obama swore to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution in front of an ebullient, possibly record-breaking crowd gathered on the National Mall.
"Earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions," he told the crowd in his inaugural address. "They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint."
Obama said he would begin to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq in a responsible manner and would work to stabilize Afghanistan. Aides said Obama would order the military to begin withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq on Wednesday during a meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Obama Reaches Out To Muslims
Obama also promised to improve relations with Muslim countries.
"To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect," said Obama, who spent part of his childhood in Indonesia, the most populous Muslim nation in the world. But he also had a warning for those who would threaten the American way of life through terrorism.

"We say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken. You cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you," he said.On the economy, Obama said his plan for rebuilding and expanding the country's infrastructure will take the U.S. economy into a new age."The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act — not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth," Obama said.Chief Justice John Roberts, whose confirmation Obama opposed, administered the 35-word oath. Michelle Obama and daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, joined Obama on the platform as he was sworn in. Moments before, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens gave the oath of office to Vice President Joe Biden, 66.

TX D esignzâ„¢ uses pure CSS to code your websites and layouts as opposed to tables which is what a lot of other designers use to make their clients sites/pages. Tables are an easy way to structure a layout, but are not as flexible as CSS based ones. A few of the major advantages of having a layout coded using CSS is that they make pages load faster and reduce costs when it comes to redesigning a website and because time is money, it can be very costly when you're being charged by the hour.
