Daily Record reporters asked members of Maryland's business and legal communities what their hopes and fears were as Barack Obama takes the oath of office as the 44th president of the United States at noon on Tuesday.
Some of his focus is right on in infrastructure, especially transportation, which is terribly important in Maryland. I'm hopeful that his emphasis on infrastructure would allow us to complete some worthy projects, like the Red Line. ... One thing you have to recognize is the huge amount of stimulus that's being put forward today may have some adverse consequences down the road in terms of inflation. You want to make sure there are no side effects of the fiscal drug we're about to take.

THE REPUBLICANS are back! Just a year ago, as Barack Obama was taking the oath of office as the 44th president of the United States, the Republican Party was struggling on the brink of irrelevancy. Today, we have regained footing.
But can we stay here?

Placing his hand on a small, burgundy velvet Bible, President Abraham Lincoln spoke the words that every U.S. President has spoken as he took his presidential oath of office, "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
His words, like every other President's, would go down in history as the nation watched another peaceful transition of power in the history of our democracy. What President Lincoln did not realize, however, was the 148 year history that this particular Bible would come to represent.

On Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. EST, much of the world will stop to watch Barack Hussein Obama take the oath of office for president of the United States.
It is a remarkable moment in this country's history, one that some generations of white Americans never wanted to see and generations of black Americans couldn't imagine. Having that past finally behind us is liberating and exhilarating.

WASHINGTON - From the steps of the Capitol, where Barack Obama took the oath of office to become the 44th president of the United States, a classic American scene formed.
Past the celebrities up so close (Denzel and Beyonce and Oprah and Jay-Z), on past the American heroes (the Medal of Honor recipients and the now-elderly Tuskegee Airmen, bundled for the cold) and far beyond the statue of Ulysses S. Grant on horseback, a crowd on The National Mall ("the people's lawn") estimated at more than 1 million shimmered under the cold, winter sun.
