Obama's Afghanistan Plans: 30,000 More Troops, Withdraw By July 2011
The 44th President's Inauguration is, naturally, front and center for newspapers. Many opted for shots of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama walking during the parade, with their enthusiasm palpable, while the images of Obama taking the oath of office were also options for the historic day. Yesterday was exciting but official, lacking the spontaneous amazement that November 4 brought (see November 5's newspaper front pages).
It's also an opportunity for newspapers to snatch up any extra business, by printing extensive inauguration sections. The NY Times is offering a copy of the November 5 edition and today's "PLUS a color 8" x 10" Obama photo by Times photographer Damon Winter, suitable for framing and available only through this special offer" and "a collectible inauguration lapel pin, designed exclusively for The Times by Christoph Niemann"—all with "FREE Ground shipping"—for $29.95. The Daily News has different of combinations of Inauguration Week editions for sale—for example, you can buy six editions for $38 or just two edition for $7.50. And don't worry—we expect special Inauguration editions of Time and Newsweek to be on stands soon, too.

Michelle looks like someone who can take a bullet for her man. Does she carry a concealed weapon by any chance...?
I have no desire to buy this issue like I did on November 5th. The surprise is gone, we all knew this was coming.
Sorry newspaper industry.
it wasn't much a surprise that he won the election either.
Alex, I'd say you're in the minority. I can't find a single copy of the Times in midtown this morning.
The Times is pretty much gone from shelves unless you go to the far reaches of the outer boroughs.
The NY Times is selling copies of the Inauguration issue at their headquarters on WEst 41st:

I found this paper to be pretty boring (the Times specifically) in comparison to the one after Obama won. Like Alex said, we knew this was coming. And it almost seems like they're trying too hard to make it a special paper so they can sell some more.
Nice SPAM, you spamming spammer.
haha ^
Must've been tough for the Post to print that headline.
Oh no, are we going to turn into a country that has framed photos of the president?
