The Big Day

Today history will be made. Today is the day the President elect Barack Obama is made president of the United States of America.

I walked in my class this morning to find the lights of and everyone finding places to sit. On the Smart Board was the CBC live feed of the Inauguration of Mr. President Barack Obama. We saw the pray being said and then the vice president vowing to serve the country fairly and well. After that Aretha Franklin sang and then It was time for Barack Obama to make his promise to his country. The first line that he has to say is “I Barack Obama do solumly swear…” I can remeber that line like I was the one saying it. He had such a clear voice and it wasn’t shaking. He kept his composure through the whole thing. Having evey one screaming for you and everyone watching you and still stay calm is amazing and truly a talent.

I live in Canada so it doesn’t affect me as much as it does the USA but it does still have an affect on me. I think that this year the election was going to make history not only because its the first Afircan American president but if he hadn’t won its very possible that Hilary Clinton could have won and that would have been the first woman President of the United States. I really hope that everything works out well and that Barack Obama does a truly amazing job as president.
