It's early days, but there is a lot of speculation about US President-Elect Barack Obama's presidential inauguration.

The swearing-in ceremony or The Presidential Oath of Office of US President Barack Obama, the 44th US President, will take place on January 20, 2009. According to the United States Constitution, the new President has to take the oath or affirmation on Inauguration Day.
