President Barack Obama took his place in history as our nation’s first African-American president on Tuesday.

An excited crowd of more than a million waited for hours in below freezing temperatures in Washington to witness the husband and father of two take the oath of office.

“What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility — a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly,” Barack said. “This is the price and the promise of citizenship.”

“It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours,” Obama said in his speech. “It is the firefighter’s courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.”

“Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America.”
