New Team Takes Over as Obama Becomes President
Obama and Biden arrived in Washington, D.C., by train following a route that mirrored Abraham Lincoln's preinaugural trip in 1861.
Obama spent Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday volunteering and calling on Americans to participate in a national day of service.
Obama, who has struck a tone of confidence and cooperation during the transition, enters office with higher approval ratings than any incoming president since Ronald Reagan was inaugurated in 1981. Seventy-nine percent of Americans hold a favorable opinion of him.
The newly sworn in President Obama and the new first lady Michelle Obama are expected to attend seven official inaugural balls this evening. The first couple is expected to dance their first dance at the Neighborhood Ball to the Etta James classic "At Last" sung by Beyonce Knowles.
