The Inauguration

On Tuesday, Barack Obama was sworn in as president. A couple of my friends and I went to Ms. Graber's room to watch the beginning, and then we watched the rest in fourth period. It was so great! Obama made an amazing speech following his oath that sent chills down my spine. It was especially exciting for me because I volunteered for his campaign back in October and November and experienced firsthand regular people's reactions to him. A lot of the people we called were supportive, but whenever we accidentally ran into a Republican, things got a little heated. I think it's amazing the people of this country could come together to elect Obama, especially since the race was so controversial. I think he will do wonderful things for the United States, and I can't wait to finally support America's actions again.
