2009 Ferrari California

What does 250,000 dollars mean to you? For some people it means a new house or a awesome college fund. However, what they don't know is with that money they can buy the brand new 2009 Ferrari California. This car, made in Italy, is a state of the art driving machine. The transmission, suspension and engine are all top of the notch. In fact, the engine is a V8 which means it has 8 cylinders. That gives it a lot more power a V6. The new Ferrari can hit 62 mph in less than 4.0 seconds. That's fast! This car has a 7 speed dual clutch transmission that makes this possible. However, besides performance this car also looks amazing. The sleek aerodynamic build gives it a very attractive look. This car is also a convertible so everyone would see you when you went driving in this amazing car. Can you imagine the look on one of your friends face if they saw you driving this?

2009 Presidential Inauguration

On January 20, 2009, a presidential inauguration was held. But this was no regular inauguration. This was for Barack Obama, our first Black president. He is the 44th president of the United States and will hopefully be a great one. Him and the new Vice President, Joe Biden, had to take an oath to defend the United States and the Constitution. After Barack Obama took an oath he gave a speech. He talked about the bad times our country is going through and how we have to change them. There were also a few performances at the inauguration. There was a musical performance of " Air and other Free things". In my opinion it sounded very good. After his speech there was someone who recited a poem. Our former president, George Bush was there too. Barack Obama escorted him out to a helicopter after the inauguration. This tradition was started by George Bush's father and Ronald Reagan. In my opinion the inauguration was very good.

ARTICLE 1

This article talks about the oath Obama took and the speech he gave. It talked about how he was entering " A New Era Of Responsibility" due to all the new challenges in economy and terrorism. Obama's speech was talked about. Many of the things he said pleased the crowd but, when he said "This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed... why a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath" he got the most cheers.

ARTICLE 2

This article told about that although most would celebrate on the first day of their presidency, Barack Obama kept himself somber so he could address the problems we faced. He remained honest and serious the whole time. It wrote ow he reminded everyone of the problems we faced but how we could also overcome them. "In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given," he said. "It must be earned." To do this, he said we would have to give up on old habits that are hurting us. He reminded everyone that America is a friend of anyone or any nation who seeks peace and prosperity.

MY OPINION

In my opinion the inauguration was amazing to watch. All the performances were performed well. The speech he gave was very moving. Hopefully we chose right when we chose Obama because our nation depends on it.
