4. The last pages at Newseum are foreign front pages.
I'd say the ones running the story are reacting the way we are.

Here's the gallery: http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/default.asp

UK supporters marking 'Obama Day'
People are gathering across the UK to celebrate the inauguration of the first black president of the US, Barack Obama.

BBC News' Anna-Louise Taylor is reporting from events being held to mark the historic day.

About 400 members of the black community are expected at the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in Tottenham, north London.

They will be enjoying traditional African and Caribbean food and music, as well as watching the events unfold on a big screen.

Gina Moffatt, 32, is a caterer and took her children in this morning to get their faces painted - then she decided to join in too.

"My kids came down this morning and got it done and I thought: 'I want something!'

"I went to Tesco with it done and everyone was waving and celebrating at the tills. I wanted to get into the spirit of it."

Community worker Nia Bellot, 40, took her seven-year-old son El-Hajj along so that he could "always remember a piece of history".

"I wanted him to celebrate the day, this historic occasion, it's especially historic for him as a black child," she said.

"They won't do anything about it at school and as a parent I thought it was important to give him this memory."
