A big night tonight as Washington gets ready for an even bigger day tomorrow, as many as 800,000 people expected. Tomorrow morning, President Obama will make the journey from the White House to this end of Pennsylvania Avenue. Up here to Capitol Hill. Then at noon, on the capitol of west front, he will rest one hand on a pair of historic bibles, raised the other and ushering 1 his second term. He is going to address the crowd, of course, and the nation and the world, be paraded, serenaded, honored with receptions and welcomed into the history books. But for the first time in a long time, the first time since the Ronald Reagan second inauguration 2, it will all be a formality. That is because it happens on the 21st. But law requires that presidents and vice 3 presidents be sworn in on the 20th. So, today the 20th, they were in two quiet ceremonies they were.
Please raise your right hand and repeat after me, I , Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear.
I , Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear.
That I will faithfully execute
The office of president to the United States.
And will to the best of my ability.

The constitution of the United States.
So, help you God?
So, help me, God.
Congratulations, Mr. President.
Thank you, Mr. Chief justice. Thank you so much.

A lot to talk about tonight, vice president Biden took the oath earlier, his residence the naval 5 observatory 6. Supreme 7 Court justice Sonia Sotomayor doing the honors there. He, too, went off without a hitch 8. Yesterday though, during a surprise appearance at the Iowa state inaugural 9 ball the vice president, well, he sort of did a Joe Biden. Take a look.
I¡¯m proud to be president of the United States. But I¡¯m prouder to be Barack¡¦
A few seconds later, of course, he corrected himself. In just a short time ago, he and his wife and the first lady and of course, President Obama all spoke 10 at one of the big receptions around tow tonight. The president¡¯s subject was hair, specifically Michelle Obama¡¯s new bangs.
