Our first grade class watched the inaguration today in our classroom at Herbertsville School. We
loved the speech and wish you luck in your new job as president of the United States.

[Sherman3rdGradeBSanDiego]

We saw the speech today in the auditorium. He is the luckiest man in the whole world because he is the first African-American president. We heard the plan of the economy. I think Barack Obama is the luckiest man because he is the president who represents Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream. Today we saw Barack Obama get his office as the 44th president of the United States of America.

[Jill]

[Camellia]

We have just seen history flash before our eyes. I am so thankful to have seen Barack Obama to be sworn in as President of the U.S. He will probably be one of the best we have had yet. Rather than say he is the lucky one (As many have), I would say that WE are the lucky ones. We need him to lead us now. It is about time.
