An important event in history has recently occurred. Yes, the inauguration for the 44Th president has occurred. But, what is a great part of this is that President Barrack Hussein Obama is the first black president in the United States. Many years ago people thought a black president was impossible. Now to actually see it happen, resurrects the souls of many and even kids know they can be what ever they want to be when there older. I think that this whole event is amazing. I can be able to tell my kids how i witnessed what had happend. A black man is president. Breaking the barrior of what can be done.

“Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America,” Some thought as heroic words, but this inspirational sentence shows the start of a new nation. One that is more united and that will have to work a little to be the best country we can. One part in article number one it is telling how there was some struggle at when Obama was being sworn in. Jusitce Roberts messed up with the words slightly. So it was a little wierd. But after that it all went smooth. There was so many people who went to the swearing in. It was loud and filled with emotions. There was much police at the event to prevent an accedent.

"first black leader as millions watched from the National Mall and around the world." This quote was saying that many people from around the world watched this important event. Especially since America might be on the brink of a world war III. But Obama is there to insure the saftey of our country and expedite the process of recovering the economy. We trust him and expect Barrack to do good. He has already started to fit in to the White House and got to work in Guantonomo Bay.
