2009 edition of the beautiful white house Christmas ornament series produced by "Friends of the White House", featuring the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Each ornament is hand blown, silvered, hand-painted and intricately decorated glass ornament. Elegantly gift boxed along with descriptive literature. This first in a series ornament commemorated the fascinating story behind the White House and our presidential history.
Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, and administered the Presidential Oath of Office at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol building on January 20, 2009, Washington D.C. He swore an oath of office, fulfilling a campaign of hope and unity, thus changing forever the future of America.
By creating this commemorative inaugural ornament, Friends of the White House honors this historical day.
The result of a centuries-old tradition of distinctive glass making, this handcrafted ornament is hand blown, silvered, individually painted, and intricately decorated by skilled artisans. Each glittering ornament is truly unique.
This ornament features a faithful reproduction of an original painting depicting President Barack Obama being administered the Presidential Oath of Office with the Bible that Abraham Lincoln used when he took the Oath of Office in 1861. Prominently featured is the West Front of the U.S. Capitol building in all of its architectural detail.
Incorporated into the design is President Obama’s signature along with the following oath or affirmation required by Article II, Section l, of the Constitution of the United States before the President begins the execution of the office:
“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
“It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.”
Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, and administered the Presidential Oath of Office at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol building on January 20, 2009, Washington D.C. He swore an oath of office, fulfilling a campaign of hope and unity, thus changing forever the future of America.
By creating this commemorative inaugural ornament, the Friends of the White House honors this historical day.
“His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others.
President Obama's years of public service are based on his unwavering belief in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose. In the Illinois State Senate, he passed the first major ethics reform in 25 years, cut taxes for working families, and expanded health care for children and their parents. As a United States Senator, he reached across the aisle to pass groundbreaking lobbying reform, lock up the world's most dangerous weapons, and bring transparency to government by putting federal spending online.”

Lori:
Thank you ever so much for the Presidential Inaugural Invitation. I was moved because it means so very much to me. I was in Washington D.C. last year during the inauguration, however, I had been hoping to eventually obtain something this special (I even wrote to my Congressman and others). Again, thank you so much and may you have continued success in your business in the coming years.

Lori,
The poster arrived late yesterday afternoon. It is hanging on my wall, and it looks absolutely fantastic! I smile when I see the President staring down at me as I am sitting at my desk.
Thanks so much! Well done!

I appreciate everything - the speedy response, the customer service, and of course, the product itself. Often, I'm skeptical and think that online testimonials only post the positive feedback, or even make up feedback. I can tell from the service I received that not only were these testimonials legitimate (just like your products), but it is likely they are all so positive because I can't imagine you getting a negative review.
Thank you so much. It was a pleasure working with you. This is how customer service is supposed to look and it is so refreshing! I'll certainly be back to purchase additional gifts for my history-buff boyfriend in the future.

Hi Lori & Team
I have purchased items from you over the years, since what I guess was your beginning days.
All items come perfect - they are what you say - I appreciate each purchase.
Is there a website where I can say “ Lori and her team are amazing as are the items I purchase”….or something similar. If so, I’m happy to do that !!
All my best,

Lori & Steve--
I want to say many, many thanks for the way you handled my Hoover item consignment. You listed it promptly, described it in a way that accurately explained its quality and value, and sold it quickly at a top price--far beyond my expectations.
I couldn't be happier and would recommend you highly to anyone who wants to consign items with Lori Ferber Collectibles.
Thanks again!
