Daughters Malia and Sasha watch the swearing in of their father.
U.S. President Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States during the inauguration ceremony in Washington, January 20, 2009. The Bible Michelle Obama was holding is the same one that President Abraham Lincoln used at his inauguration in 1861. This is quite a historic day for everyone, but especially for these 2 girls. To see their father become president at such a young age, and to be at his side, is something they will never forget.
