Hooooo!    :&gt;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Barack Obama will be sworn in as president just days before the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln&#039;s birth, and his inauguration theme will reflect the timing: &quot;A New Birth Of Freedom,&quot; a phrase from the Gettysburg Address.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From Lincoln&#039;s speech:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the press release announcing the theme from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chair of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    &quot;A New Birth of Freedom&quot; commemorates the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln&#039;s birth. The words come from the Gettysburg address, and express Lincoln&#039;s hope that the sacrifice of those who died to preserve the nation shall lead to &quot;a new birth of freedom&quot; for our nation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    The inaugural theme, which was selected by Senator Feinstein and the members of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, will be woven through the inaugural ceremonies. The theme is traditionally linked to a major anniversary, and in her announcement Senator Feinstein spoke of the appropriateness of the chosen theme to our present day circumstances, particularly in light of the historic election of Senator Barack Obama.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;THERE IS MORE.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;President-Elect Obama!
