So to start off, I want to say that this year has been pretty amazing. Over the next two weeks, I’ll be blogging about some of the most amazing events this year has to recall. I’ll be turning to my subscription with Maclean’s and taking pictures and uploading them, recalling the most compelling moments in 2009. To start off with, we go back to November of 2008: all across the United States was an excitement in the air about having a new president, and we found out on the 15th (some of us anyways) that Barack Obama had just been elected as the President of the United States.
The following pictures are from the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball held in January on the night of his inauguration.
The inauguration of Barack Obama became one of the defining moments of the past 10 years in American history, and is certainly distinguished as a memorable event for the world, as America’s first black president is inaugurated into office. At the same time, the dignity with which George W. Bush makes his final address and takes his leave is also worth noting. He hasn’t been the best leader, but he is certainly one to remember.
So my question for you guys this week is: what has been one of the most memorable moments in 2009 for you? I hope to read your comments, and hear what you have to say.
