Barack Obama Sworn in as President

In what was one of the proudest  and most emotion filled moments of not only my life, but of the life of the United States of America, Barack Obama took the oath to become the 44th President of the United States on this cold but sunny day in the United States capital.  The inauguration ceremony was witnessed by millions of people in person, and likely hundreds of millions via television and the internet all around the world.  The swearing in of an African American as President of the United States is righteous event  in and of itself.  This fact is not in doubt, but the swearing in of a man who appears to have a philosophy of even mind and shared path at a time where the world appears to be on the brink of falling into isolationism and regression is what is most powerful about today’s events.  Barack Obama has a flair for international cooperation and experience.  Having lived in foreign countries and being born from the relationship of an African immigrant and an American optimist makes Barack Obama the perfect individual to deal with the troubles that are caused by the expansionist dreams of our cohabitants on this earth.  Common good was the theme of President Obama’s speech, it is that which will define his presidency and that which will allow the world to grow up together, as opposed to grow up at the expense of one another.  May all the luck one can wish be bestowed on the United States this day.
