No, that's not a summary of deleted scenes from "The Hangover." It's a list of some of the more interesting highlights from our nation's rich history of past presidential inaugurations.
Besides the pomp and circumstance, the inauguration -- with its associated balls and parades -- is a logistical puzzle, complete with all the potential chaos that comes with organizing a heavily attended event in wintertime, in a swamp of an East Coast city.

From mishaps to glory, here are a few pieces of inaugural trivia you can use to impress your friends and neighbors.
** As vice president, an ill Andrew Johnson became so intoxicated on the day of Lincoln's inauguration that he gave a rambling speech about himself before becoming too confused to perform his duty swearing in the new senators. "The inauguration went off very well except that the Vice President Elect was too drunk to perform his duties & disgraced himself and the Senate by making a drunken foolish speech," wrote Sen. Zachariah Chandler of Michigan at the time.
Abraham Lincoln swore the oath in front of an incomplete Capitol dome. Lyndon B. Johnson became president on Air Force One next to a dazed Jacqueline Kennedy. A collection of photographs from past presidential inaugurations.
** Good trivia: First president of the United States who was not born a British subject? Martin Van Buren, inaugurated 1837.
** Even better trivia: First president to wear long trousers instead of knee breeches? John Quincy Adams, 1825.
** At the very first inauguration in 1789, the Bible used by President George Washington was hastily opened to Genesis 49:13, which reads, "Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon."
** In 2009, President Barack Obama used the Lincoln Bible, used by Abraham Lincoln at his presidential inauguration. The book, published in 1853, has 1,280 pages.
** For John F. Kennedy's inauguration in 1961, a morning snow left an accumulation of about eight inches. Army flame throwers were used to clear it from Pennsylvania Avenue.
** The estimated temperature at Ronald Reagan's first inaugural was a balmy 55 degrees Fahrenheit. At his second, it was a frigid seven -- the coldest inauguration on record -- and the ceremony had to be held inside.
Andrea Mitchell's been covering presidential inaugurations for over three decades. Here's a look at some of the highlights.
** At another chilly celebration, in 1873, guests at President Ulysses S. Grant's ball had to dance in their coats because the temporary structure built for the occasion was so frigid. Champagne became Slurpee-like in consistency, and the flock of canaries brought in for guests' enjoyment ended up freezing to death.
** After the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson was sworn in at his residence at the Kirkwood House on Pennsylvania Avenue. The site is now a high-rise.
** After Kennedy was assassinated, Lyndon Johnson took the oath of office on Air Force One. It was the first time the presidential or vice presidential oath of office was administered by a woman, U.S. District Judge Sarah T. Hughes.

** The first televised inaugural ceremony was Harry Truman's in 1949. The first broadcast nationally by radio was Calvin Coolidge's in 1925. The first known photographs from an inauguration were in 1857 at the ceremony for James Buchanan.
** The tradition of inaugural balls is traced to the first one thrown for James and Dolley Madison. Tickets to the 1809 gala, held at Long's Hotel, were $4 apiece.
** A grand ball for James Buchanan in 1857 included 400 gallons of oysters, 75 hams and $3,000 worth of wine. (That's more than $70,000 in today's money.)

The only thing "quirky" about this inauguration is the one that is being inaugurated! Pompous azz, and by the way why wasn't there any title on the book you were swearing on? Nothing but a bunch of meaningless baloney. Perhaps you can blame the weather for the small turn-out or maybe it will be because your promoter Bush won't be there.
Nobody cares about this inauguration.
** As vice president, an ill Andrew Johnson became so intoxicated on the day of Lincoln's inauguration that he gave a rambling speech about himself before becoming too confused to perform his duty swearing in the new senators.
Sounds just like Crazy Uncle Joe to me.
Why doesn't anybody see that this ignorant president is not putting his hand on the Bible but instead putting his hand on a muslim koran. He also did this the first time. He did not put his hand on the Bible when the priest held it like Joe Biden did but instead out his hand on a book his wife held. He is succeeding in destroying this Nation very quickly Thanks to the ignorant people who voted for him.
Where is the picture to prove your statement?
Another wacko leftist liberal fool in love with the black god (little g) of dc!
Global Warming!
No wait! New Ice Age!
Never try to use facts, with liberals; it just confuses them.
What a screwed up America we live in. White people at the mercy of a black president?
I think Lincoln is rolling over in grave think how bad his party have became. You guys say he is socialist and a muslim at the same time lol. You all are jokes and I hope you enjoy the ceromony tomorrow because people like you made it easy for him to win easily twice. So i thank you also
Barry will take the oath of office by placing his right hand on his family's Koran, brought in from his hometown in Kenya just for the occasion.
That pesky Grandmother started that entire birther business. So, when will his college records be released?
Better off now? Are you kidding? Want to see my healthcare premiums? Payroll taxes are now taking a bigger part of my paycheck. Anybody see gas and food prices? So, where are the five million green jobs that the nutjob promised?
In the past 50 years republicans been president for 28 years and democrats 22 years
Republicans created 24 million jobs and democrats 42 million jobs
Stock markets return for republicans was 109% and democrats 992%
Stock market return annually was 2.7% for republicans and 11% for democrats
The countrys income growth was 0.6% under republicans and 2.2% under democrats
So i think we got the right guy in office for the job because GOP spreads all kind of lies with no facts to prove it. Research provided by The Department of Labor
Are you counting those 20 million "stimulus" jobs that Obama promised? lol
Don't credit Clinton with dotcom, it was Bill Gates.
The stimulus jobs you speak was for people to not lose their jobs. And i understand how the GOP looks at numbers. When it doesnt go your way its obviously wrong. I bet you think Romney won also because the electoral college cheated lol
Oh...what happened to the 5 million "green" jobs that Barry promised? Oh, that's right. His financial advisor said that the Stimulus monies were not for white male construction workers even though Barry keeps citing those good manufacturin' jobs and good jobs in repairing infrastructure.
lol
We can go on about this but i let facts do the talking. You can have your believe which FOX told you to believe in. Just cry on your pillow and blame Obama for all your problem while we laugh at you and your party and go FOWARD LOL. I think Obama sent Romney and Ann an Invite also. What a gentleman
New World Order brought to you by all presidential candidates since Woodrow Wilson....
Note for future historians: Most of the comments here came from old white people who will be gone in 25 years, Halleluja
Ding Dong. You're wrong. Many of us are young white people. Boo Hoo.
Too bad Obama made it impossible for a black man/woman to come along who is actually qualified to hold office.
Anne I think your party made it impossible to take any old white mans seriously because mot of them in your party are clearly out of touch with reality. You made fit right in with them
Hey, married women voted for Romney and unwanted women voted for Obozo. So much for not taking white men seriously.
Well that and the white man vote is the only votes romney got if you look at the state that voted for him. Obama won the youth, college educated people, minorities, single mothers and people who make between 45k-100k income. So if that makes you feel better about your guy losing then go ahead lol
If there had never been White people, Obama wouldn't be in the White House--he'd be in a grass hut in Africa. This country would be as it was 1000 years ago--as would be the rest of the world. That's why Whites are hated by minorities. Chinese might be up to primitive muskets by now- forget everything else.
So thank you for everything white people have done in this world? You surely did gods will lol
You're welcome! Whites invented virtually everything except for a few spin off gadgets derived from our technologies. We can certainly admire all the inventions and technology to come out of Africa during the last 1000 years. O-yeah, Shaka improved on the spear
You we also admire the genocide you spread over the world. Destroying cultures, the rape of woman and kids, and oppression of people for silly differences. You must be proud
You are absolutely correct-and in doing so we doomed ourselves. We fought our civil war-Whites killing Whites to free others who despise us. We fought Germans in WW1 and for what? Again WW2 we fought each other INSTEAD of uniting our race. So, the USA goes to the Mexicans next-not the Blacks after that?? China
All of our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. It's a pity that Washington's Birthday was replaced with Presidents Day and Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln are rolled in with the likes of Obama.
Off topic but has anybody read Manchelle's college thesis? Talk about bigotry. That woman has some serious issues.
I guess he thinks that using the Lincoln Bible adds patriotism to his Administration....and his agenda to take our nation apart.
4 years ago 30 million or more Americans,(real Americans) and myself had careers and jobs. gas was 1.87, starbucks coffee was 4.00 not 7.00. car loans were easy to get. and ive just come back from overseas and trust me noone respects us.
Don't forget to add grocery prices to that.
Wait until Barry's State of the Union address. lol Jobs jobs jobs...rah rah rah.
Get your good ol manufacturin' jobs, folks. I wonder if Malia and Sasha will want to work in a factory?
Marshall you must have been in europe paying 1.87 of liters for gas because during bush years we seen the record on gas prices but i'll just keep posting fact about your party
Bachmann (really you believe her) said gasoline was just $1.79 a gallon when Obama became president, suggesting he is to blame for the current high prices. But gasoline prices — which are set by world markets — were higher under Republican President George W. Bush just months before Obama took office
Nah, Romney lost because too many people drank the Kool Aid. Now, what are those nice church going folks going to tell their grandkids why they voted for a man who called a live birth abortion "a valid medical procedure" and that they should vote for him because little Sasha and Malia have friends with two moms or two dads....hmmm.. I wonder .

according to the Tax Foundation, 9 of the top 10 recipients of federal money for social services are red states--
Mississippi, Alaska, LA, WV, ND, Alabama, SD, VA & KY.
The top 10 states that pay out more in federal dollars than they receive? All are blue states--
New Jersey, Nevada, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Illinois, Delaware,
California, New York, Colorado.
So i guess when Romney was talking about the 47%, he was talking about his own votig base. Lol What an idiot
I would suggest that you research the blue states and cities that are broke and looking for handouts from the Gov. The Red states manage their budgets, states and cities much better than the Dems. Dem's run social handout states and cities and they are so far in the red, I can hear the screams for $$$$ help. Keep over spending, run without a budget and cripple our national defence. Obama and his morons are going to do just that.... By the way, you had a pay cut last week; how did you like that? Just think, the POS in DC is going after more of your salary.
Well you really cant argue with facts but you still insist on doing so. I mean most people getting andouts are in red states and red cities. You moron barely know how to do anything right but cripple your own party and your future. But my check was slightly lighter but it really doesnt bother me. Im American i'll pay more to support my country, will you tho?

BLS data for total nonfarm seasonally adjusted jobs show the U.S. had 130,346,000 jobs as of December 2010, up from 129,319,000 in December 2009. That’s 1,027,000 new jobs — slightly less than the 1,095,000 jobs created in Bush’s eight years, from January 2001 to January 2009. The U.S. added more than 1.8 million jobs in 2011. FactCheck.org
But Obama is much worst than Bush because conservative radio tells me so. Who is really drinking the kool aid
This is going to be one crappy 2013 with the two morons that occupy the peoples house. Obama is a POS and he is out to dismantle America and make us like his homeland of Kenya. I hope that gets Impeached, tried for treason and dealt with accordingly. And we all know what happens during war time when you are convicted of treason...........
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 22.7 million jobs were added between January 1993 and January 2001. (See total nonfarm, seasonally adjusted — the standard measure of jobs.) BLS data show there was a net increase of nearly 1.1 million jobs — not a job loss — from January 2001 to January 2009.
