Obama Inaugurated!!


Remember the date,  20/01/2009 as Barack Obama became the 44th and 1st black president of the United States before a massive crowd of over 2 million people in Washington. President Obama called on Americans to confront together an economic crisis that he said was caused by “our collective failure to make hard choices.” In his inaugural address, Mr. Obama acknowledged the change his presidency represented, describing himself in his inaugural address as a “man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant.” But although the crowd and the podium around him were full of elated African Americans, Mr. Obama, the first black to become president, did not dwell on that in his speech.
