whistle stop tour to Washington has gotten under way after an
enthusiastic send-off from Philadelphia, the cradle of American
democracy.
Obama and his family and a traveling party of guests, public
officials and reporters rolled out of the city's 30th St. Station
shortly before noon under a frigid, but sunny and clear blue sky.
As the train lumbered out of the station, a conductor bellowed:
"Welcome aboard the 2009 inaugural train to DC."
The route - the same that Abraham Lincoln took nearly a century
and a half ago - was 137 miles long, and Obama's arrival in the
nation's capital was scheduled after the fall of dark Saturday.
