Former president Barack Obama's plane flies over Palm Springs International Airport in California and is diverted to March Air Reserve Base after bad weather prevented him and his family from landing on Jan. 20. “I heard he just wanted a good night’s sleep,” said a woman who had volunteered for Obama’s campaign in 2008. Unlike most presidents, Obama is staying in Washington so that his youngest daughter can finish high school. In his final news conference, he imagined a future in which there would be a female president, a Jewish president, a Hindu president. Obama’s plane was being diverted to March Air Reserve Base, about 60 miles away.
