It's nothing that would change the market since it's just ceremony - Wall St. already knew that Obama got elected so there's nothing different today.

I thought the ceremony went well. Glad to learn it was Roberts and not Obama who messed up the oath. I thought the speech was appropriately policy oriented (with lots of "tough times ahead") rather than some soaring poetics. Also, of course, I loved the direct rebukes to the outgoing administration. Amazingly strong.
