House Majority Whip Kathy Webb sends in this cell phone picture taken moments ago near the stage at the Lincoln Memorial, shooting back towards the Washington Monument. The official inaugural events began today with this concert featuring Beyonce, Sheryl Crow, John Legend, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, U2, will.i.am and Stevie Wonder.
Obama is due to appear at the Lincoln Memorial at 2:30 p.m. The first families will join him. He will give a speech at 4 p.m. The Associated Press reports that the crowd size is likely to reach 500,000 by that time. Lori and I are attending a local MLK gala tonight here in Texarkana and will be en route to the inauguration tomorrow.
