The President

We heard him take the oath and was sworn in to be the President of the United States of America. We think there are over 200 rooms in the White House. They guessed that there were about 2 million people to watch. The former President, George Bush, rode a helicopter and plane back to his home. The new President. Barack Obama, gave a speech. He rode in a limo with his children and his wife. His daughters are Malia and Sasha. Malia is 10 and Sasha is 7. He has lots of guards. There was a big parade. His limo is bullet proof. There were lots of people standing by his limo. Barack Obama is now our official president. He is our 44th president. He will be president for four years.

I was in Washington, DC for the inauguration of President Obama. It was quite a sight. I've never seen so many people. It was nice to see all the Iowans who made the trip. They got special recognition for voting for President Obama in the first contest, the Iowa Caucuses.
