First Presidential Messages commemorates not only the historical "Yes We Can" campaign, culminating in the 2009 Inauguration of Barack Obama, but observes the Two Hundred Twentieth Anniversary of the U. S. Presidency and the peaceful transfer of executive power. From the inauguration of George Washington in 1789 to that of Barack Obama in 2009, First Presidential Messages presents the inspiring inaugural addresses of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush as well as little known remarks given when a Vice President fills a vacated Presidential office, like those of Andrew Johnson, Calvin Coolidge, and Gerald Ford. First Presidential Messages is more than a general reference tool, it is a citizen's companion that instills a sense of pride in the genius of our nation's Founding Fathers and the Constitution they created. This collection gives a panoramic sense of the historical sweep of personalities that served the nation as its Chief Executive.
