Why is the presidential inauguration so long after elections?
The US Constitution became effective at a time when there was no telegraph, no radio, no television, no telephone, no computers, or any othern "modern" means of communication. The Presidential election is not "validated" and "official" until each states' "electors" casts their votes for President. In those days, this took much time. And although most times the "Electors" agree with the popular vote, there have been a few "surprises" along the way.
Why is the inauguration of Barack Obama significant?
The constitution says a president must be born in the United States. Some of Mr. Obama's political opponents are called Birthers: they are a small group of people (about 13% of voters) who insist the president was born in Africa and is thus not eligible to be president. But he was not born in Africa. His biological father was born in Kenya and later came to Hawaii to study; President Obama was born in Hawaii, on August 4, 1961, as has been thoroughly documented repeatedly. However, that has not stopped the Birthers from continuing to believe Mr. Obama is foreign-born.

If you are interested in getting a better price, and willing to take a chance that it might not be quite as good, you could try going to a massage school student clinic. They will charge around $30-$35 for an hour massage. If you are lucky, you may even get a massage that's better than one from a professional. It's worth a try.

President George Washington started that. At the end of his speach/oath, he said, "So help me God".

I don't believe there to be any definite law as to what would happen if a president had not been selected before Jan 20th. If the president had not been decided due to a lawsuit about counting vote or the eligibility of voters, the Supreme Court would make a ruling saying who wins. I'd go out on a limb and say that no matter what, the Supreme Court would make some kind of ruling before January (if the election is held up in a lawsuit)
