Here's her report:

"Yay! We did it!" shouted Shelle Barnes.

In a lively if modest celebration, Barnes and the other residents of Pacific View, a board and care facility in San Pedro, blew air horns and cheered as they watched Barack Obama become the nation's 44th president.

Barnes, left, wearing her Obama '08 T-shirt, acted as hostess and cheerleader, making sure residents and guests stood at the appropriate times and bowed their heads during the barnes.jpginaugural prayer, exclaiming an "amen" throughout.

"It's terrific," said resident Peter Bassett. "I'm really excited we have a new president."

The rest of the day at Pacific View is featuring celebratory meals with the public invited.
