Fun Things We Saw
--A group of about 10 people standing over a grate in the middle of
12th Street that was blasting heat up from the underground. Hair and
scarves were blowing, but faces were shining, and feet were thrawing.
--More Obama memorabilia than anyone ever thought possible. Obama breath mints anyone?
--Four flags stuck in a collection of empty soda bottles on a cafeteria table in the history museum. A makeshift table decoration put together by super tired Obama supporters who kept toasting each other with their styrofoam drinkiing cups.
--Side streets from the National Mall entirely filled with people flowing like sluggish water from the National Mall to anyplace else that might have a restroom or food or warmth after the ceremonies were completed.
--Two million people getting along and being happy despite the lack of basic creature comforts. Everyone was friends on inauguration day. That's America.

They are also against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as this member of the group explained to Kid Reporter Christiana Dillard during the inaurguration ceremonies in Washington, D.C., January 20, 2009.

President Obama's speech was really moving. I really think that he will do a good job being president.

Do you think they would have did this if McCain was in this position?

I glad that Obama is an African-American presidenet because it shows that America has become a better nation, that fewer people are racist and that we can have a difference. Also that people believe a change is needed and say that Obama is perfect for the job.
