BLOG STAGE 2: President Obama’s Inauguration

Barrack Obama’s inauguration will definitely make history on many counts. Principally in being the first African American President but in this particular article he’ll be the first on a topic that has been American tradition since the first U.S. inauguration. On the morning of January 20th 2009, President-elect Obama will say his full name, “Barrack Hussein Obama.” Using his full name intended or not, is in itself a statement. The fact that our country has elected not only an African American as President but an African American of Islamic roots will show the world that our country is in fact a country that has been transformed. We are now a country that can show our neighboring nations all over the globe that we can embrace them and work together to better our nation.
