Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States during a ceremony at the Capitol on Tuesday, January 20. And Kim Kardashian has blogged about President Obama's Inauguration.

Kim wrote she feels "so proud" that Obama is the new president. The 28-year-old socialite said the election "was the first time I've ever voted and I'm so proud that Barack Obama is now our president!"

Adding her sister, Khloe Kardashian wrote, "Today, January 20, 2009, is a momentous day for our country. Just moments ago, Barack Obama became the first black president to be sworn into office, and from this point on I, along with millions of others, anticipate some major positive changes to occur in our country." Khloe said America has been in a "downward spiral," but now has "high hopes for President Obama -- not once have I doubted his ability to turn this country around."

But Kim and Khloe aren't the only celebrity fans of President Obama. British actress Mischa Barton called Obama's swearing-in ceremony "absolutely incredible. Obama's speech rung so true, and is the reason why I made myself an American citizen." She even cried watching the Inauguration, writing, "I cried for the people being hit by our economic crisis, including my friends, and for the people who don't understand the spirit of good Americans."
