Social studies national

I read two inauguration stories.These articles are about Obama's inauguration, however they both have different points of view. Obama's inauguration is national news and made many headlines. I read these two different inauguration stories online at the sites listed below. Both sites named the titles differently but both said that this inauguration marked a new era.
The first article, CNN, was a great source for news. The article gave a good description about what happened and Obama's speech. It even included what happened after the inauguration. CNN also included that Obama swore on the same bible Abe Lincoln swore on. Along with important facts about the inauguration, it also included quotes from Obama himself like "The time has come to set aside childish things.". The point of view CNN used, and the title of their article makes it sounded like they were exited to have a new president.
AOL talked about the article differently, but still seemed exited based on their title and text. They had a long and interesting article, they also included good facts. One quote they used from Obama was "It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours," Unlike CNN their article had pictures and videos, making their article slightly more interesting. Also the included some not as important facts that CNN did not include.
I for one am very exited about having a new president. I am looking forward to the change Obama promised.
