President Obama

Today, on the 20th fo January was the inaguration of Mr. Obama to President Obama. He was the 44th and 1st colored president of America. President Barack Obama takes the oath of office and delivers his inaugural address from the steps of the Capitol. Well, he was stuck at the middle of the speech and laughed..


"Today we celebrate, tomorrow work begins" Obama exclaimed. On January 20, he has a Commander in Chief Ball, one of 10 official black-tie that kept him and his wife late in the night.

Jan. 21: On his first full day in office, President Barack Obama summoned economic advisers and top military officials to the White House on Wednesday in quick steps toward delivering the change he promised as a candidate.
A prayer breakfast and open house at the presidential mansion were also on the schedule of the 44th president, taking office on a promise to fix the battered economy and withdraw U.S. troops from the unpopular war in Iraq on a 16-month timetable.
Obama's first White House meetings as president meshed with quickened efforts in Congress to add top Cabinet officials to the roster of those confirmed on Tuesday and to advance the economic stimulus measure that is a top priority of his administration.


But there is still 1 question:


Will he be a good president?
