On the twentieth of January, this year, 2009, we got a new president. Our new president is Barack Obama. He was officially president at 12:01 on the twentieth of January, when President Bush retired from being president. During the inauguration he took an oath and gave a speech and all.
The speech that Obama made about changing everything was co-written by a twenty-seven year old man named Jon Favereau. Jon Favereau is the youngest chief speech writer that was recorded in the white house. Obama talked about a lot of things in his inauguration speech. The economy crisis, and all the things that he promises to take care of. His speech set a very high bar for all the other presidential inauguration speeches.
President Obama's inauguration was on to remeber. He took the same path as Abraham Lincoln. He went on a train to the Capitol stopping in Philadelphia, Willmington, Delaware, and Baltimore, just like President Lincoln. He went on the train with his wife and two daughters, Malia and Sasha. Some presidential inaugurations were more quiet and unnoticed than Barack Obama's for example Ronald Reagan. It was so cold on the inauguration day that he cancled the parade to save the marchers from severe frost bite and much worse conditions.
My opinion of Obama's new presidency is: it's pretty good. He's helping a lot of people if he does things right. But if he does things wrong we're bound to end up a third world country. I really don't care who's president, as long as they do things right, and make things right. I don't want a president who out of fear of being assisnated going incognito. I really don't want that. I want a strong president who will do things right. All in all, Barack Obama is a good president, he apparently knows what to do and will take action.
