Yes We Can, a Documentry on Obama
January 20, 2009
Me standing in line around 5:00 am this morning!
Today I recieved the opportunity to witness history. Barack Obama is now the President of the United States! It was a population of about 1.8 million people at the inauguration. Yes of course it was cold, but no one proceeded home before it was over. We woke up at 3:30 in the morning; arrived at 4:45 in the morning. We had to wait in the longest line it took over 4 hours. But it was definitely worth it.
Ironicly I was so excited that it completely wiped out the tiredness. I couldn't see anything because of the crowd, but luckily I had my digital camera. I was able to get the limo's passing by on the way to President Obama being sworn. They were beautiful, bullet proof, and bomb proof. Obama and Bush rode in the same limo "Former and Elected Presidents."
Obama's speech was heart warming and speaking the truth even though it might hurt a little. His speech was one of the most powerful speeches ever. He told all of the Americans in the area and waching at home that, we are here, we need to help make are country a better place, that we have to join each other as a nation and not different colors.
I felt as if I was going to cry hearing this speech really opened my eyes to a new world. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, we all know that he is up there saying, "Yes We Can and Yes We Did!"
