Social Studies: Today Our New President!

Today Americas new president has entered the White House. Today 'President' Obama had his inauguration in Washington D.C. The streets where filled with citizens from all over the United States of America. Not only is President Obama receiving the White House as his home, he is also receiving all the problems we are facing. Such as the economy.
However, tonight is a night for celebration. Many people congratulated President Obama and expressed how they felt being a witness while history was being made. this great event also brought over Denzel Washington and Steven Spielberg's. In Obama's speech he stated, "Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will be met easily or in a short period of time. But know this America, they will be met." I believe President Obama is a sign of hope and improvement. He says it will take time and I believe him. Problems take a longer time to fix than to make. While he was being escorted to the White House President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama walked out to wave to the crowd of people. I think that showed character to support all those who came out in the cold to see him become president.
Also, this inauguration was viewed by people all over the world. Barack Obama spent four years of his childhood in Indonesia. one man who was in his class said it was good that Obama is our president because it will reflect well on the new generation. Another man from Iraq, Ali, is a teacher and took pride in watching the inauguration Obama. "Obama will bring positive changes to Iraq by changing American policy toward our country." Ali is an Iraqi with African Ancestry's. Today was history in the making and many countries enjoyed watching this. Such as, Colombia, Indonesia and Iraq. I think that this is history in the making. Barack Obama is a leader and an inspiration. I just wonder what his first step in taking control will be?
