Hello Readers,

Who - Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961. His mother's name was Ann and his father's name was Barack Obama, Sr.

What - He is our 44th president elected.

When- He was elected on November 4, 2008.

Where - After he won he gave a speech to a crowd in Chicago's Grant Park.

Why - He was elected because a lot of people voted for him and because he motto was "Change We Can Believe In" and "Yes We Can".

His inauguration will be in Washington, DC on January 20, 2009.

A presidential inauguration means that Barack Obama will put his left hand on the bible and raise his right hand and say these words: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States".

All presidents have to do this before thy can start working as our president.

The Best Obama Book and Book Signing

Image
Hello Readers, Today we went to a book signing and I was very happy! There was a lot of people, there was a girl tugging at my leg. Nikki Grimes said that she wanted us to dream on. I had a book about BARACK OBAMA signed by Nikki Grimes and illustrator Bryan Collier. I asked, what made you want to write a book about Barack Obama? She paused for a few seconds and said, " Yes I love to write, it would be lots of publicity, and it would bring attention to my other books and writings. Once the research began, she began to like him, she began to understand his message, leaning more led to greater appreciation. Following his campaign ups and downs made my heart jump." The book was a "crash book." In December of 2007, the publisher contacted her and requested 3 weeks for research and writing, as opposed to the usual 3 to 4 months for book research alone. Here is the author's website: http://www.nikkigrimes.com/
