On Tuesday 21, 2009 a a special moment came upon us. As the inauguration came, there is also a new page of history to be made. Therefore President Barrack Hussein Obama has became the first African-American president of the United States of America. In his speech he said, "We have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord." Meaning that we are brave and not scared, and that we have to fix the conflicts and harmony between us and others. Also, his speech was very influencing because he is proud to do what was never been done before, being the first black president of the United Stated of America.

My opinion about this article is that I am amazed that there were many people were really pleased with the arrival with the president Barrack Obama, and that we are proud to have our first African American.

On Tuesday 21, 2009 are record was broken. During the presidential inauguration, more than about twenty seven million people from around the world were watching President Barrack Obama being sworn-in. Those countries were including Kenya and Indonesia. Also, President Obama said, "We just made history. All of this happened because you gave your time, talent and passion. All of this happened because of you." Meaning that Obama wouldn't have been president if a lot of people didn't vote for him. Many people around the world were happy because of Barrack Obama.

My opinion about this article is that I am amazed that a lot of people were watching the inauguration for around the world, even though they are not in the United States. This also tells me that they deeply care about other countrie's presidents as much as their own.
