| arack Obama, a self-professed follower of Abraham Lincoln, would not only take the oath of US Presidency swearing in on the Bible used by the former President, but will also have on his lunch menu that afternoon the food eaten by Lincoln after his inauguration.
Soon after being sworn in as the 44th President of the United States on January 20, Obama would have his first lunch hosted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies at the historic Statuary Hall at the US Capitol.
Approximately 200 guests including the new President, Vice President, members of their families, the Supreme Court and Cabinet designees, and members of Congressional leadership will attend the luncheon.
The details of the luncheon have been designed to reflect the theme of the 2009 Inaugural ceremonies, "A New Birth of Freedom," celebrating the bicentennial of the birth of President Abraham Lincoln, the Congressional Committee said.
The menu, created by Design Cuisine, a catering company based in Arlington, Virginia, draws on historic ties to the Presidency of Abraham Lincoln, who led the nation during the civil war.
