[quote:Anonymous Coward 27288830:MV8yMDczOTU4XzM0OTEwOTE5XzE1NkZFMDM0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 27288830:MV8yMDczOTU4XzM0OTEwODYxXzU1Mzc5NEY2] They said it's tradition to hold a small private ceremony if the inauguration falls on a Sunday. Too lazy to look this one up but could be true. [/quote] Ronald W. Reagan Coldest Inauguration day on record, with a noon temperature of 7°F. January 20th fell on Sunday, so Reagan was privately sworn in that day at the White House; public Inauguration on January 21st took place in the Capitol Rotunda, due to freezing weather I'm not an Obama supporter but looks like Reagan did the same thing. I assume there were reporters there though. [/quote]
Original Message
The White House Correspondents Association is strongly urging the Obama administration to allow press access to the president’s official swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 20, following indications from White House aides that the event could potentially be closed to the press.
