Barack Obama Inauguration

This past Tuesday, the first African American president, Barack Obama, was inaugurated. As 1.5 million people crowded around the National Mall Obama swore to oath. "Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real," Obama said in his inaugural address. "They are serious, and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America: They will be met." He also mentioned economic problems and how we will overcome them, the Muslim world issues and how we will leave Iraq in peace. In addition he also threatened terrorists. As quoted "You cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you." Leaders around the globe congratulated him in his victory such as French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Finally, change we can believe in. I believe, Barack Obama will truly change this nation and any issue we face now will be resolved. Yes we can.
