9:34: CNBC is even hopping on the Obama train. The stock exchange opened up on the steps of the federal building where the first Inauguration happened.
9:35: MSNBC: is showing Don King in the crowd with a jean jacket on with the White House on the back and no hat. The Metro transit system has already taken over 200,000 people to the Mall.
9:45: The church service just wrapped up. And the camera is trained on the doors of the church waiting for the president-elect and his wife to exit. It sure does take a long time for Obama to get in and out of the car.
