Barak Obama became the new President of USA two days ago. He is the first African –American President. American people seem to be very excited with this change in their political system.

The inaugural ceremony was celebrated in Washington. 250,000 people and thousands of journalists were present.

In his inaugural speech, Obama mentioned the world crisis as a challenge. He motivated Americans to fight against this difficult situation. He spoke about dialogue between nations and marked that the USA is still the most powerful nation. He also mentioned that the USA is at war but against violence and hatred.

Several singers took part in the show: Alejandro Sanz, Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin...

From now on, there is no doubt that Obama will have to work hard.
