President Obama celebrates his Inauguration

WASHINGTON D.C. - The new first couple, made ten grand entrances — as they celebrated at Inaugural Balls well past midnight!

President Barack Obama told supporters it was their day, their future.

He said, "We are going to need you to bring about all the changes that are possible in this country."

The Obama's first dance was to Beyonce's version of Etta James' At Last.

And that was the sentiment, among two million people, many African-Americans, who packed Washington for this moment.

After his swearing-in, Barack Obama asked Americans to rise to the nation's challenges.

President Obama said, "They will not be met easily or in a short span of time but know this, America they will be met."

Americans watched across the country, from classrooms in Atlanta and Los Angeles to troops in Baghdad, who will now get orders from a new Commander in Chief.

President Obama said, "We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people."

George Bush is now back in Texas, leaving the White House and in the Oval Office a note for Barack Obama.

Today is a workday for the new President as he meets with his economic team, while Treasury nominee, Tim Geithner begins his confirmation hearing.

Despite the throngs gathered in Washington, there were no arrests.

Officials say it was a peaceful start for a new U.S. President.
