Washington, Jan. 22 : Moving quickly to undo the Bush administration''s regime of secrecy, President Obama on Wednesday repealed a 2001 executive order granting former presidents, and even vice presidents, the ability to keep documents secret long past the 12 years allowed by law.
It was one of Obama''s first official acts, and was hailed as a rebuke of the past eight years.
In announcing the order, Obama said it will even tie his own hands.
Washington, Jan. 21 : Change has come not only to the White House, but also to the official presidential limousine.
On the day he was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama shuttled around Washington in a virtually impenetrable armored Cadillac, which had doors at least five inches thick, reports the New York Daily News.
Obama''''s official car is a hybrid of a different sort. It has variously been described as part car, part truck and part tank.
London, January 21: Millions may have lauded Barack Obama's Inaugural speech but what remained unheard was what was said by a First daughter to her father, and between the new President and his predecessor after the swearing-in ceremony.
According to a lip reader, the first African-American President of the United States, just after the ceremony, asked George W. Bush: "You OK?"
As to what was Bush's reply, according to the Sun, the lip reader said: "So relieved."
