Change has hit America!

America wanted change and from 6:00 am NST Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States and the first African-American President.

His oath was muddled up a bit, but his speech made up for it.

There were great lines in his speech like:

"Starting today we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin the work of remaking America"

and

"On this day we gather because we have chosen hope over fear"

Around 2 million people gathered to watch Barack Obama's Inauguration

2009!

Last year was brilliant,

John Key won the election,

Barack Obama has become the first African-American to be a president elect,

V8 Supercars came to Hamilton,

The Olympics were in Beijing, China, what a party that was,

But most of all I was in Mr. Woody's class.

My real question is,

What will this year hold in store for us?

Remeber 2008 was last year, it is already written in rock,

but 2009 is the present and it is still being written, anything is possible,

and all doors are open.
