Obama takes the power

The chronicle that I´m writing is my witness from London since that’s where I was the day that Barack Obama reached power and became the first black USA president.
The way Great Britain viewed his taking of power was totally positive, everywhere on TV you could see famous people sending messages of support and congratulating the president, quoting things from their past such as “whenever my grandma did not want to get me something she’d say you’ll get that when there’s a black man president ” or simply explaining why it is such a big change for the world that a black man should be president. We also witnessed how Obama attended 10 inauguration balls and danced the night away. It seems that the content of his speech did not matter much to Britain’s citizens, or at least that is what it seemed on TV.
Obama was given messages of support from all around the world. Gordon Brown, the GB prime minister, said that president Obama represented a “new chapter” in both the USA and the world’s history. According to Brown “He’s not only the first black American president but he sets out with the determination to solve the world’s problems”. Sarkozy, the French president, said “we are eager for him to get to work so that with him we can change the world” and even the Pope offered prays to the new president.
Before his first dance at the ball with Beyoncé as a singer Obama asked “How good looking is my wife?” as the cheering crowd invited them to dance. It seems the president is all determined to change the world, and he plans to do it with good humour and spirits. Mariah Carey, Shakira, Jon Bon Jovi and Stevie Wonder were among those who sang for the couple during the night at the capital. The first dance was at the Neighborhood Ball held for all those supporters in the Washington area. However, one of Obama´s sentencing sentences was “Tonight we celebrate, tomorrow the work begins” and so he did: the next day, it was on first page that the first thing the new US president would do it was to deal with the “economic meltdown and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.” Also, it was given much importance that he would halt the Guantanamo trials for 120 days while his cabinet members try to work out a timetable to close the facility.
