It's so exciting that we can finally call Obama our president instead of president-elect. And it was also kind of cool to see the inauguration from another country -- one that really likes Obama a lot. The bar on campus called the College Bar held an inauguration party. It ended up being packed with both American and Irish students. Everyone clapped and cheered for Obama when he came out. There were even Irish kids with Obama shirts on -- they really love him as much as we do. Now I feel the need to do some more research into their government and leaders since they seem so knowledgeable about ours.
They are also REALLY proud of the fact that Obama's great-great-great-great grandfather is from Ireland. There was even a whole segment about it on the news last night. His relatives were from Moneygall and a band there even wrote a song about it. It's pretty entertaining!
