WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama drew wild applause Monday when they walked along the parade route from the U.S. Capitol to the White House.
Twice they walked the streets and twice the crowds erupted into cheers and waved American flags wildly. Parade-goers jumped up and down, took pictures with their phones and tablets and hoisted small children into the air as the Obamas waved, pointed to the crowd and clapped.
