When President Obama gave his speech on the day of his inauguration, crowds gathered and he got lots of applause whenever he paused in his speech which made it seem grand. What stood out to me the most was that he wants to help adults get jobs to get for the family. If adults with families don't have jobs, they won't have food, clothing and shelter because they won't have any money to provide these things. Thankfully my parents do have jobs, but I worry that if they lose their jobs, they won't be able to provide me with things I like if that happens. President Obama wants to make sure that everyone can live in a decent home with plenty of food and clothing.

On January 20th, there were many more people than there were tickets to see President Obama and hear his voice. This was the biggest inauguration ever because President Obama became the first black president. There were many more black people there to support him than I remember seeing at former President Bush's. Black people must have been really proud of him because they feel that he represents them. This is the first U.S. president who isn't white, making more opportunities for people from different backgrounds.
