* George Washington’s was the shortest inaugural address at 135 words and William H. Harrison’s the longest (8,445 words).
* Abraham Lincoln was the first to include African-Americans in his parade. (1865)
* Even though Barack Obama doesn’t have a sweet tooth, he does enjoy a good piece of pumpkin pie.
