Obama Assumes Presidency

Submitted by vinz on Tue, 01/20/2009 - 2:16pm

Welcomed by millions in Washington and billions around the world, Barack H. Obama addressed the country for the first time as its president.
For those who wanted to be there in person, the day started early and the wait in the lines was long but all of our neighbors agreed that it was well worth it. Poignant moments were the oath itself, Obama's speech and Bush's departure by helicopter.

His inaugural address can be read here:
