Barack Obama had a historical inauguration. It is just amazing that one man could attract so much attention in one day. This might have been one of the best inaugurations ever but now I am going to get the real story. This might help you get a better understanding on Mr. Obama and his inauguration.
My first article I chose was about the song put on for Mr. Obama. Now there might have been some famous people performing the song like Yo-Yo Ma but that did not stop them from "instrument sinking." Yes you heard me, they were faking. You might think that that is just sad that they were faking, but it was because pitch, tone, and intonation are all things that be affected by cold weather. So in the end they just didn't want to ruin the special event. So don't be to hard on the instrumentalists.

Now my second article is on the inauguration in general. Now as you know Mr. Obama is an African American and the first one to be president. So you can expect that this was pretty big. In the inauguration speech Barack told people how we should be enviormentally friendly. He also said that he did not support the war in Iraq and was planning on taking troops out immediately. Lastly he said that "A man whose father might have not been served at a lunch counter sixty years ago can now make a sacred speech. That was a very powerful line to a very powerful speech. This was a good speech for a good man.

So that's the inside news on this historical inauguration. You learned about a song and a powerful speech. This was truly a great innauguration. I hope it will be good 100 days for Mr. Obama. So I wish Mr. Obama good luck in the next four years and I hape he does well.
