Your i-reporter in action

I decided to walk the couple of blocks down to the White House, where I thought I would go to the south side and see if I could see Bush greet Obama at the South Portico. However, I didn't make it that far, as I crossed Pennsylvania, I noticed a big crowd outside the gates, staring at the north portico.

It was odd, there were hundreds of people assembled there. I heard one reporter say, "wow, he's just in there and they come like this, how many people is this? A thousand? He's gonna have a hard time getting rid of that messiah reputation if people keep reacting like this to him..."

I took a picture, which doesn't really show how many people are there.



There were a lot of smiles on people's faces, which was nice.

And, here you see the beginnings of the reviewing stands for the inauguration. :)
