I belive that this inauguration has, in a way, changed politics. Now the world will remember this historic event and the legacy it will leave behind. It has attracted so much attention since Obama became the president.
"An estimated 1.8 million people attended the 2009 Inauguration, a record breaking number for any event in the nation’s capitol... With such a huge turnout, there were many security and transportation challenges. Overall, the event ran smoothly. However, some areas were so congested that people could not move. Thousands of people who had tickets to the swearing-in ceremony could not get there in time." (The full article can be found at http://dc.about.com/od/specialevents/a/Inauguration.htm)
Would you not agree that this event was one of the biggest so far this year in terms of politics and possibly in history? Feel free to share your thoughts.
