The world is waiting for the historic moment on Tuesday, January 20th when the United States celebrates a presidential inauguration for the 1st African-American President – Barack Obama – in the country’s short 200+ year history. Preparations have been ongoing since Obama’s defeat of Republican John McCain in the 2008 Presidential Election. The cost of the inauguration is expected to top $150 million. Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden are currently on a 137-mile train ride from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Washington, DC which mirrors the same exact route that President Abraham Lincoln took just before his inauguration in 1861.
