Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) Launches Official Store

Today, the Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) launched its online store and announced the upcoming opening of a Washington, DC retail location offering official memorabilia to celebrate the second inauguration of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. These official outlets, offering unique pieces from mugs to t-shirts to blankets, will ensure that every American can celebrate this historic event.

“We are excited to announce the launch of the Presidential Inaugural Committee 2013 Official Store,” said Presidential Inaugural Committee spokeswoman Addie Whisenant. “This inauguration is an historic moment for all Americans to come together and celebrate. Whether it is a tote bag or a sweatshirt, this official memorabilia helps Americans across the country share in this special event.”

In Washington, DC, the Presidential Inaugural Committee will open an official retail location for the local community and those traveling to the nation’s capital for inaugural events. The memorabilia will reflect the PIC’s official theme for the 57th Presidential Inauguration: “Our People. Our Future,” which expresses the belief that this inauguration is not just a celebration of a president, it’s a celebration of the American people.

The retail store will open at 1155 F St. NW later this month. Official PIC merchandise will also be available for sale at select hotels throughout Washington, DC. The PIC operated a similar retail outlet in 2009, also located in downtown Washington, DC.

The PIC also unveiled a special edition poster designed by celebrated artist and long-time supporter Chuck Close.

In wake of the Zika virus, travel, spring break still O.K.

Representatives from the CDC and the NIH were on hand at the White House during Monday's press briefing to update the public and address concerns over the Zika virus that has caused some babies to be born with deformities. Dr. Anne Schuchat from the Centers for Disease Control and Dr. Tony Fauci from the National Institutes of Health told reporters that a vaccine is in the making. The pair also said they are particulary concerned about women who are pregnant, or plan to get pregnant, who have either traveled to or plan to travel to areas of South America and the Carribean known to have the Zika virus. Despite those bold statements, the doctors said there is no wide-spread concern and that Americans should continue to travel, including during upcoming college spring breaks -- when college students travel to warmer climate destinations to escape winter weather. "Travel to Zika-affected areas is very common among Americans, and we don’t think that needs to stop...

Said the president, "But even as we improve the website, remember that the website isn’t the only way to apply for coverage under these new plans. We’ve updated HealthCare.gov to offer more information about enrolling over the phone, by mail, or in person with a specially-trained navigator who can help answer your questions. Just call 1-800-318-2596 or visit LocalHelp.HealthCare.gov . No sooner than the president gives out the 800 number for Americans to speak to one of the 'specially-trained navigators', one of them gets fired, perhaps loosing her own healthcare benefits. Her malfeasance? Talking to talk show host Sean Hannity. Hannity called the 800 number with his...

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Robinson, mother of First Lady Michelle Obama.

The woman who made her mark as grandma-in-chief when President Barack Obama was elected 44th president of the United States, passed Friday. The woman who was considered the backbone of the Obama household will be remembered as a family-oriented, kind person, who remained poised as she assumed the responsibility of helping raise her two beautiful granddaughters in an environment, and in a world, far from what she ever imagined. Mrs. Marian Robinson, mother of First Lady Michelle Obama, waves to reporters during Easter egg hunt at the White House. (photo CD Brown) I recall seeing her that day in March during Women's History Month at the Smithsonian when her daughter's Inaugural gown, like all the other first lady inaugural gowns, was being cemented in Smithsonian history . She was smiling as she walked alone prompting me to ask, "is there no security, no secret service, for the first grandmother?"
