A new day - Jubilation as Barack Obama sworn in as 44th US president

Jamaica Gleaner News "The National Mall in Washington, DC, pulsed with celebration and history yesterday as Barack Obama took the oath of office before a vast, energised crowd witnessing a transfer of power like none other.

Roused by Obama's moment, crowds estimated at more than one million clogged the mall and Pennsylvania Avenue, erupting in jubilation the moment Chief Justice John G. Roberts became the first to declare: 'Congratulations, Mr President.'

The crowd roared. Trumpets blared."
