Up until today, every president has been white, a George started the streak, and a George was the last in the streak.
Today, you have a few options. Say hello to Obama, say goodbye to Bush, or stay warm....
If you do go to the Inauguration, please, for the love of god, don't go on the Metros!!! The Metro system, on a perfect day, can carry around 800 thousand people. That's with all the stations open, and the cars running perfectly. About half a dozen stations are closed, and cars are already in disrepair, and we're exxpecting 2 million people to come....
If you do go, however, keep an eye in the Canadian embassy, they have a perfect view of the capital...
