Waking early Tuesday Morning, I made my way down to the UN plaza by 7am, were thousands were coming together to witness as a community, this historic occasion. See how much change is already occurring, by reading my account of what D.C. was like when Bush was first elected.

More photos after the jump.

The morning's first few moments of daylight warms the crowd.

See, I told you thousands.

A very proud pappa makes sure his daughter doesn't miss a moment of this historic event.

On lookers pass the time by partaking in a new, topical carnival game.
