On January 20th, 2009, we watched history happen. Barack Obama, the son of a girl from Kansas and a guy from Kenya, became the 44th President of The United States of America. It's weird to think that two years ago, Obama seemed like a long shot against the more experienced likes of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. It's even weirder to consider that the wunderkind of the 2004 DNC actually fulfilled the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans. Tuesday marks Obama's first full week in office, so why not take a moment to relive all things that're to love about the new President? Y'know, before FOX News tries to rip him a new one.
