Obama's Inauguration

Although I did not want Obama to win the presidential race, I was very impressed by his inauguration. The biggest crowd ever to attend a president's inauguration gathered in the nation's capital on January 20. Many people came to witness history as the first African-American became president. It was beautiful to see the thousands of people who came together to support Barack Obama and our country. One couple at the inauguration had gathered in the same place over fourty years ago to attend Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" Speech. They said it was truly amazing how our nation, which had once mistreated and discriminated against blacks, was now led by Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States.
