На расположенный в центре Вашингтона Национальный молл съехались люди со всех концов страны; многие – с детьми. С самого раннего утра гости американской столицы устремились к Капитолию. По данным пресс-службы Вашингтонского метрополитена, к десяти часам утра число пассажиров составило не менее двухсот шестидесяти шести тысяч человек. Многие приехали в столицу США на автомобилях и добрались до Капитолия пешком. Наконец, примерно в без десяти минут двенадцать, Барак Обама принял Президентскую присягу. Руководил церемонией глава Верховного суда Джон Робертс. Приняв присягу, президент произнес речь, в которой, в частности, сказал: «Всякий раз, когда мы собираемся на церемонию инаугурации президента, мы вновь убеждаемся в могуществе нашей Конституции. Мы помним, что единой нацией мы стали не благодаря цвету кожи, вероисповеданию или происхождению. Мы – уникальная нация; американцами нас делает наша приверженность идее, сформулированной в Декларации независимости более двух столетий назад»
