Barack's Speech: Work-in-Progress?!
January 20 is quickly approaching -- so Obama's inaugural address is already written, right?
That's false! The President-elect is reportedly still hard at work on his address to the nation, but Politico.com revealed that Obama has written at least three drafts with Senior Advisor David Axelrod and Chief Speechwriter, Jon Favreau.
Barack told the editors of The Washington Post he wasn't nervous about his big address -- until his daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, got involved! Obama revealed, "Malia said, 'First African-American president -- it better be good!' So I just want you to know the pressures I'm under here from my children."
