Barack Hussein Obama officially became the 44th President of the United States of America at exactly 12.06pm, on Tuesday the 20th day of January 2009."Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real . . . but they 'll be met."
This is one of the many inspiring phrases I picked from Obama's inaugural speech. And I'd like to add this ... Yes you can! Yes Americans will meet those challenges! In deed, all Nations of the World can meet all challenges they face! Yes we can!
Some historical facts to note:
* Barack Obama is the 1st BLACK President of the United States of America.
* The Lincoln Bible has not been used in an inaugural ceremony since 1861.
That means Barack Obama is the 2nd President to use that Bible.* Barack Obama is the 5th youngest person elected as President of the USA.
* Barack Obama became President of the USA at 12.00pm even without taking oath. This is because the American Constitution states that the term of a President begins at noon!
* Obama's inauguration is the most expensive ever!
I join several millions to say CONGRATULATIONS to the 44th President of the United States of America, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama.
