The millions expected in Washington for Barack Obama's inauguration in January can expect to witness history – and to shiver for hours in the cold.
Washington officials expect as many as 4 million people to crowd into the US capital to watch Obama be sworn in as the nation's first African-American president on January 20. The visitors will pack hotel rooms, rental houses and friends' couches and spare bedrooms, jam the subways, and crowd into the national mall, a large park surrounded by the White House, the US Capitol building and presidential memorials.
