Obama Day Memories 9

By Michael Barnes | Thursday, January 29, 2009, 01:10 PM

Among other activities in DC, I had the fortune of being invited by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to attend the Speaker’s Cabinet Luncheon on Jan. 20 in celebration of the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. The entertainment for the luncheon was Sheryl Crow, Lyle Lovett and Jon Bon Jovi, who all played tributes to the new administration. I was able to get my picture snapped with both the Speaker and with Lyle Lovett. It was a big thrill for this Texas girl and fan!
