MORE PICS: The Nation Watches & Celebrates President Obama



Million of Americans gathered at the Capitol/National Mall Tuesday (1.20.09) to see BARACK OBAMA become the 44th President of the United States.





In my previous blog, I showed you some of the images taken on that special day ... but here are some more:




Not every one got a chance to be at the big venue ... some watched the big event at watch parties, at school or at work ... sharing the emotional moment with those around them.






Employees at this SEARS gathered in the electronics department to watch the ceremony.




And Times Square in NYC was filled with people watching the large screens and screaming their support for Obama.
