President Obama's Inauguration

I will never forget January 20th 2009. On that day the United States regained their trust in the government and what it can accomplish with the right leadership. President Obama's Inauguration Speech brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my skin. He had confidence and power in his voice, even though he has a whole country to get back on it's feet. He gaurenteed us that it would be a long and difficult journey, but someday our country will have a stable economy and will be friends with the Middle East rather than enemies. His voice showed no sign of doubt or worry. He would do all he could to make this country what it should be.
I sat on my counch in my living room surrounded by my mother, father and ten-year-old brother. The television was set to CNN and there stood the 44th President of the United States and our first African American President. As his words flowed from the screen, I sat dumbfounded. Our country is in such disaray, yet Brack Obama has no fear or doubt. My parents sit with tears welling in their eyes as my little brother sits and plays with his action figures, not quite understanding just how big this moment is.
I thought President Obama did an amazing job at connecting our past government with our current government and looking at what will happen in the future. I also enjoyed seeing all the celebrities that attended the Inauguration, seeing how emotional they got. I thought it was beautiful when Bono was singing. I also loved seeing how many people where standing outside of the White House, hanging onto every word that our new President said.
I was also suprised and impressed by the fact the Obama didn't talk much about the fact that he was the first Black President, which I think was the right thing to do.
So those are the events that took place on January 20th 2009. Where I was and how I felt I will always remember. The words he spoke and the vibe felt around the country will stay in my memory forever.
