President-elect steps up to the door of history amid high security, crowds


WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama began his inauguration day by attending a service at St. John's Church followed by a short private visit at the White House hosted by President Bush and his wife Laura.

Earlier on Tuesday, Obama and his wife, Michelle, left Blair House across the street from the White House for the short ride to the church, even as a huge crowd gathered in front of the U.S. Capitol building and across the National Mall to witness his swearing-in at midday.

Around midday ET, Obama will step into history by becoming the United States' first black president, bringing a message of hope to a nation battered by recession, weary of war and hungry for change after eight years of George W. Bush in the White House.

With the national holiday honoring slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. falling on the eve of the inauguration, America's troubled racial history was in the spotlight.

3. Visiting GW Hoover

It would've been a better idea for Obama to visit GW Hoover then go to church, to help him get rid of the sulphurous smell from him. :bounce:
