Mr. President

And there he is, President Barack H. Obama, as viewed from Section 2, Green, Seat 83, three rows behind the orchestra pit.

The view from behind the orchestra pit NOTE DON KING in the lower left Only in America sm.JPGFrom that vantage point, the best view was of the U.S. Capitol rising high above the partially-obscured lectern where the new president delivered his inaugural address. 

Or, turning around, you could see what the president saw: an uninterrupted sea of humanity stretching all the way to the Washingon Monument -- and beyond. 

Look closely, and you can see some famous faces in the crowd, too.  Denzel Washington was there.  Don King was there.  And we were introduced to a few people we didn't even know that we should know.
