Why did you travel from halfway across the country to attend this event?
Barbara: I missed the first (inauguration) and I wanted to make sure that I didn’t miss it the second time around.
Is there something during Obama first term that you wish he had done that you hope he does during his second term?
Deborah: I was pleased with what he did during his first term. I can’t think of anything really bad that he did. I am totally impressed by him, I’m proud of him and I hope that one of these days that we can have another black president. He’s bringing our country together and giving our young black kids and white kids something to look forward to.
