DECATUR, Ga. -- Students from across Georgia are getting ready to go to Washington for the Obama Inauguration, with their families, and with school and church groups.
Thirty-three of them are with the Close Up program at Decatur High School. They're actually looking forward to the cold, the crowds and even controversial demonstrations and protests.
"It's a really historic election with Obama winning, and I'm really excited to see what's going to happen," said one of the girls going on the trip.
The students will remember the year they came of age, politically -- arguiing and debating with each other about the Presidential campaign.
"There was extreme adulation for Obama," one boy said, not approvingly.
They're still debating each other -- about whether Obama's going to be able to cut it as President.
