Though I ain't American, but its really interesting to see how a world's superpower White nation, is now led by an African American, who's image now is currently second (or first) to that of American Idol by popular vote.
Here below caught on CNN was the coverage of the inauguration - a chapter added into pages of history... a day we shall always remember.
(page will load slowly as lots of graphics have been uploaded here. Please be patient ye...)
Dignitaries, politicians, and the crowd all set for the man of the hour.
Capitol Hill all decked for the occasion in striking red, blue and white - The American colours...Picture perfect!

Miles and miles of crowds descended upon Washington to witness the historic event.

Yo yo Ma, comprising not only him but also with a few world class musicians making history with their masterpiece before Obama takes his oath
yesseree-do... he likes it. Mr President flashes his smile of approval for the musical piece
Finally, he takes the oath.
Michelle Obama, America's First Lady looks on lovingly as her husband is sworn in as president.
Its now official. America goes wild now that Obama is formally made president. Make note of the multiple screens showing different parts of America celebrating.
Obama enters into pages of history as his face appears on Time Magazine and is forever immortalised. Here's to a successful and hopeful year of reform and progress that he has been advocating throughout his campaign. Yes, Mr Obama...yes, we can!
