As I mentioned yesterday, there are two Weatherbirds in today’s paper. It has to be a Weatherbird-first. Both are related to the inauguration of a new president.

On the inauguration wrap, the Weatherbird is walking with President Barack Obama. You can still watch the inauguration, or take a closer look at the scene.

Obama is the 44th president. He is technically the 43rd man to take the presidential oath of office: President Grover Cleveland was the 22nd (1885-89) and 24th (1893-97) president. His was the 56th inauguration (vice presidents who assume the office after the death of the president are not inaugurated; they are sworn in to office). He is the first African-American president.

More than 800,000 people attended the inauguration in Washington, D.C. — and it might have been as many as 2 million, depending on who you ask. President Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1965 inauguration is widely believed to have the largest crowd with 1.2 million, but some believe that number was inflated.

Today’s special inauguration Bird line is “The price and the promise”

The second Weatherbird was on A1. Several local students watched the inauguration ceremony on TV. One student said he was reminded of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. During the ceremony, a Chesterfield Elementary fourth-grade class tried to text questions to Rockwood High School students who were attending the inauguration in Washington, D.C. The attempt failed; most D.C. cell networks were overloaded.

Today’s A1 Bird line is America the hopeful
