[Washington DC]President Barack Obama Greets On Lunar New Year.
Echoing the President Obama’s message, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and the President’s Advisory Commission on AAPIs send best wishes to all those celebrating the Lunar New Year.
It is said that This is a time to remind ourselves that we are a nation of immigrants, who have contributed not only rich cultures and traditions, but also perseverance and shared hope in helping build this country for future generations.
President Barack Obama Said
“Michelle and I send our warmest wishes to everyone celebrating the Lunar New Year here in America and all around the world. I’ll always remember the parades, fireworks, and gatherings that surrounded the Lunar New Year when I was growing up in Hawaii. And now as President, this celebration is a perfect reminder of the many cultures and faiths that make us who we are as Americans.
We are a nation of immigrants. Our vast array of traditions and perspectives and backgrounds – our melting pot – is what makes America unique. It’s what keeps us fresh and dynamic and entrepreneurial. That’s why last year, I took action to help fix our broken immigration system. But our work isn’t finished. We’ve still got to come together to pass a comprehensive immigration bill so that we can expand opportunities for more people to study, and serve, and contribute to our nation. Those are the aspirations that have attracted families to our shores for generations. And that story continues today. So whether you’re celebrating the Year of the Ram, the Year of the Goat, or the Year of the Sheep, may we all do our part to carry forward the work of perfecting this country that we love”.

White House’s First family has introduced a new member of the family This is a Puppy named Sunny
Sunny was born in Michigan in June 2012, and arrived at the White House today.
Just like Bo, she’s a Portuguese Water Dog, which works great for the Obamas because of allergies in their family.
It is told that Sunny is the perfect little sister for Bo + full of energy and very affectionate + and the First Family picked her name because it fit her cheerful personality.
In the past, Bo has been eager to help the First Family with their official duties, from visiting Walter Reed and the Children’s National Medical Center, to inspecting the Holiday decorations at the White House, to greeting guests at the White House on tours and during the Easter Egg Roll, but in October, the First Lady told reporters that she hosted a “doggie play date” because “Bo doesn’t have enough dog interaction.” So now, in addition to helping with those official duties, Bo takes on the important role of big brother!Sunny, the new Obama family dog, on the South Lawn of the White House,
