As the opening act of Obama’s fledgling presidency unfolded, the country – and the world
– kept a close eye on the 44th president’s every important move.
April 1, 2009
Day 72 - April 1, 2009

Obama is a rock star at the G-20 summit, with heads of state and dignitaries of every stripe jostling to get their picture taken with him. He is unable to win the major concessions on economic stimulus and support for the war in Afghanistan, but he and first lady Michelle make quite an impression. Obama draws brickbats for his controversial, deep bow before Saudi King Abdullah. Michelle offends some British sensibilities by embracing Queen Elizabeth.
