Just last Tuesday, a historic event took place in Washington, D.C. The first black president in our nations history was inaugurated. Barack Obama was sworn into office and took the presidential oath. This inauguration took rigorous effort and lots of time to set up and pull off. It was also the most expensive, public, and historic inauguration in history.
"Barack Hussein Obama became the 44Th president of the United States on Tuesday before a massive crowd reveling in a moment of historical significance", was very important in our countries history. It marked the first time a black man has climbed the ladder of leadership in our country and became president. Also, his presidency shows that you can become anything you want to as long as you put your mid to it. Barack's presidency is remarkable and inspirational to anyone who wants to aspire to do something people have told them they can't. The article i read shows and explains what's going to happen over the next four years.
“I always felt it was important to tackle the tough issues today and not try to them on to future presidents, and future generations,” was one of President Bush's quotes on the subject of Barack Obama's presidency. Mr. Bush seems to be taking all of his criticism well, negative and positive. Also, he is helping President Obama and his family get acquainted into the white house. “I never took an opinion poll to tell me what to think. And I’m coming home with my head held high and a sense of accomplishment.”, was another one of George Bush's quotes about president Obama.
I agree with both articles that this election is very historic. Barack Obama became the first black president of the United States. WIll all Americans be able to adapt to having a black president? I personally believe he will do an excellent job as president.
