Barack's Inauguration Welcomes Change

“Change has come to America!” says the banner of the 44th president of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama. As the first black president of America, he promises new changes in governance that spark hope among the American people amidst problems of war and economic crisis.


It's the expected changes in American politics then that have caused Barack's inauguration last Tuesday to be star-studded. Aside from the millions of people who braved the frigid Washington temperature to witness the inauguration ceremony, there were also many celebrities who attended the event. For one, the new president's inauguration ceremony was serenaded by top music performers like Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Shakira, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Faith Hill, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Lopez, and Marc Anthony. Hollywood actors Leonardo De Caprio, Lucy Liu, Denzel Washington, Hayden Panettiere, and supermodel Tyra Banks were also present during the event.

Even the frock of the first lady, Michelle Obama, did not miss the eyes of the fashion critics. Her simple but elegant white gown by young designer Jason Wu was well-praised. The gown seemed to perfectly suit the said “changes” in governance for it simply discourages over-spending.

Indeed, President Barack Obama's call to joint efforts has unquestionably solicited supportive responses from many Americans, ordinary and privileged citizens alike. But while the support to the new president is outstanding, Barack Obama has also to meet this great expectation that have been placed on him. Its only after meeting this soaring expectations from his million supporters that he can honestly say, “Change has come to America!”
