Washington, DC –  Today, Congressman John F. Tierney (D-MA) made the following statement with respect to the inauguration of President Barack Obama:

“At this decisive moment in our nation’s history, the dawn of the Obama Presidency brings with it not only the change of an administration and of party affiliation in the White House, but also the opportunity to put America back on course. It has been refreshing to see the unprecedented interest that Sixth District residents have expressed in this event. I share the enthusiasm of my constituents in congratulating President Obama and Vice President Biden on this truly memorable occasion and look forward to working with the new administration to effect the change for which country has so resoundingly called.”
