Obama Inauguration leads to traffic heck

I think the people who live and work in the Washington area are glad this sort of stuff only happens once every 4 years, because it’s turning into a disaster. President Elect Obama will soon become President Obama, and the Inauguration ceremonies mean that much of the capital region is being closed, blocked, redirects, and turned into a giant no parking no travel zone. Considering that a larger than normal number of people are expected to decend on Washington to see the first president of color get installed in office, the authorities are taking no chance. If the size of his election night party in Chicago is any indication, it looks like Washington is going to be packed to the top.
