Obama Is Sworn In! The World Watches Obama's Inauguration! (Live Video Coverage of Ceremony)
Today as the world watches Barack Hussein Obama will become the first African-American U.S. President, number 44 to be exact.
Obama along with his Vice-President Joe Biden, won the general election with 365 Electoral Votes beating their opponents John McCain and Sarah Palin by at least 95 more votes than the 270 necessary to step into the Oval office.
Millions have decided to brave the Cold, Snowy weather for the opportunity to personally witness such a Magnificent event in History.
No doubt Obama's Inauguration represents a milestone once unimaginable in a nation still plagued with racial issues since its founding and where segregation is still being practiced in many Southern states, especially within their Public School systems.
His election also pays homage to the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a slain Civil Rights Leader most famous for his "I Have a Dream" speech given at the Lincoln Memorial during the Civil Rights March on Washington, DC August 28, 1963.
The swearing in ceremony will take place right outside the U.S. Capitol, with the use of Lincoln's bible.
Security will be extremely tight as more than two million people are expected to attend.
God Bless you and your family President Obama
We wish you well Sir.
