I saw Chris Matthews on Colbert last night. He worked as a speech writer for President Carter and was there during the transition. He said the day of the inauguration is very strange. Moving trucks pull up and you pack your stuff and leave. A huge crew of people come in and remove everything including all the pictures of the President and his family and they replace them with pics of the new President and his family. He went on to say when they are done with the job it is like the previous President never existed in the house and feels like the new one has been there forever.
It was kind of interesting.
