President Barack Obama!

This morning I watched the swearing in of the 44th President of the United States. To most of the country is it a tremendous day. Since it happened at noon on the east coast it was especially early in Hawaii. I wake up at 7am every morning to get Maika up and ready for school. When I woke up and turned on the TV, a musical number was finishing up. I had no idea where they were in the proceedings.

When they had finished playing, Maika came into my room and sat down. The speaker for the inauguration said, "we will now have Barack Obama take the oath into office!". I was so happy that I didn't miss it. I was also glad that Maika, at 9 years old was able to see the first black President make his oath into office. Live, not a re-run. Many are against him and many in support of him.

In either case, HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY.
