Obama's Inauguration (social studies)

The two articles below are about Barack Obama's inauguration on January 1, 2009. In the first article it tells you about the role of religion under President Obama. In the second article it tells you about the inauguration and infortmation about it.
In "The role of religion under Obama." The sermon that was delivered at the inauguration was fund by National Prayer Service. A woman was delivering the sermon for the first time. Religious groups broadly advertised the Obama transition team. Rick Warren and Gene Robinson represented the large constituencies. In the article it says, "To move from a consuming, polluting, poverty-creating economy to one that conserves, is a good steward of the environment, and focuses on bringing people out of poverty, that's more than a structural crisis, it's a spiritual one," said by Mr. Wallis.
In the second article it says that Obama is the 44th president. The theme of this years inauguration is "A New Birth of Freedom," because Obama wants to change America and make it better for everybody. The federal security office says that about 1.8 million people attended the inauguration. Many events were held in Washington, from 18 to the 21st, 2009.
I believe that Barack Obama will be a wonderful president if he fulfills the promises he has made to this nation. He is a nice man with dreams that will help U.S.A.
