2013 Presidential Inauguration.

The crowd is smaller, but not that much smaller.  In 2009, the crowds overflowed to the edge of the Washington Monument, but this year it's blocked off at 12th (one section of the mall) short of the Monument, just past the Smithsonian Museum.

And it'll still be larger than we've seen in decades.

2009 was a monumental point in American history, but 2013 was sweet enough.

Two of the best lines of his inaugural address:

"For if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."

and

"Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life. It does not mean we all define liberty in exactly the same way or follow the same precise path to happiness.  Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time, but it does require us to act in our time."

The emphasis today: move forward, even if imperfect, while showing respect to all Americans.
