Inauguration of President Obama

On Tuesday, January 20, 2009, we experienced history. History that will be written in the social studies textbooks of your children. That day was the inaugration of the first African-American President of the U.S., Barack Obama. An inauguration is ceremonial induction into office. Tens of thousands of people attendend the glorious day to witness history.
The first article I read was from The Wall Street Journal. The article describes the day of the inauguration and what went on. The inauguration drew a crowd of over one million at the National Mall. Obama became president at noon, swaring on the bible our Honest Abe used, used his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, to take the oath. A well known quote said at his inaugural address states that no matter what race, class, or religion you have/are you can still become the president if you are determined. " A man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a sacrad oath." Obama said. Unfortunatly, Mr. Pres's first day on the job "scarcely begun". The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 4%. Obama had coffee with Bush, then at lunch he witnessed Sen. Edward M. Kennedy collapse. Today, the President met with the economic team and Gen. David Petraeus, to start the withdrawal of combat troops in Iraq. Also, he'd gotten well wishes from around the world such as a former South African president, the U.K. prime minister, and the French president.
The second article is also from the Wall Street Journal. This article was about the dresses the Obama girls wore on Inauguration Day. First Lady Michelle Obama wore a champagne yellow ensemble by Isabel Toledo. Isabela Toledo is "a Cuban-American, independent fashion designer who has spent her recent career on the fringes of New York’s Seventh Avenue. " Mrs. Obama is known for wearing dresses designed by lesser-known names, said to give them a chance. Ten year old Malia wore a deep-blue belted J.Crew coat. Seven year old Sasha wore a pink coat, also by J.Crew, paired with an orange scarf and gloves. I believe the dresses the Obama girls wore were very nice.
My opinion on the first article is that the President's inaugural speech was very-well writen and spoken. His speech inspires us for the future. I also hope he will be able to clean up this big mess with major issues like the economy and the war. I think he'll make a great president. My opinion on the second article is that the Obama girl's choice on what to wear was great. I'd love to have the jacket Malia had yesterday. I don't get why the press makes a huge deal on what Michelle Obama wears. They just just have to find something they can pick on about to each and every celebrity.
