President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden Invite Guests on Inaugural Whistle Stop Tour

Group of Everyday Americans to Join Obama and Biden Families on Journey to Washington


WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee announced that a group of everyday Americans has been invited by President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden to join them on the Whistle Stop Tour to Washington, D.C. the Saturday before the Inauguration.

These everyday Americans from all walks of life have made extraordinary contributions to the life of this country - the worker who became a champion for workers' rights, the soldier who became an advocate for servicemen and women suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder; those who have lost their jobs and struggle bravely to cope in economic turmoil, and those who work tirelessly to make real the dream of a better future for their children.

"Each one of these families has their own remarkable story to add to our American story, and we're thrilled they've agreed to join us as we travel to Washington," said Josh Earnest, PIC Communications Director.

2. That is a nice gesture. Shrub would have only have had millionaries on a tour if he did one.

Not that I could even see him taking a train anywhere.
