The Obama Inauguration was not a political rally. It is a national event.
The Obama Inauguration drew an estimated 1.8 million people.
The Lyndon Johnson Inauguration, by comparison, drew 1.2 million people.
By comparison, the Johnson Inauguration was bigger in relation to the relative sizes of the American population at the times of the inauguration.
But, I don't think that counts, because, as I said, Inaugurations are National Events, not Political Rallies.
