Mr. Obama's public swearing-in this time will be on January 21st, one day after the start of his second term because that will fall on a Sunday. This inauguration is likely to attract a smaller crowd, forecast at between 600,000 and 800,000 people.

Yet Army Major General Errol Schwartz, commander of the 6,000 National Guard soldiers who will manage the crowds, says preparations have not changed.

"Even though the crowd set is smaller, we are still looking at what are the possibilities that may occur within the smaller crowd."

Even if smaller, Washington's big event will still be just that.
A joint congressional committee has spent $1.2 million on the platform at the Capitol where Mr. Obama will take the oath and on the ceremony itself.2009年1月，创下多达180万人记录的群众挤满了华盛顿国家广场，想要见证第一位非洲裔总统宣誓就职的历史时刻。
  奥巴马这次将在1月21日，第二任期开始的第二天宣誓就职，因为那天是周日。这次就职典礼所吸引的民众可能少于第一次，预测人数为60万到80万。
  但是陆军少将埃罗尔.施瓦兹表示，这次的准备却没有改变。他是6000国民警卫队士兵的指挥官并将指挥这次的群众。
“尽管这次的群众规模较小，但我们将仍然关注在小规模群众范围内发生事情的可能性。
  尽管人数相对较少，但华盛顿的大事件将仍按那样安排。
  联合委员会已经为国会大厦前的平台花费了120万美元。奥巴马将在那儿进行宣誓并举行就职典礼。
