Well I was WAY off on the time <mental note:The sun rises in EAST!>. I  
got this from the Earthobservatory site:

"Hi Bruce,
It certainly was an exciting day! Our friends from GeoEye tell us the  
image was captured at 11:19 a.m. I don't know what time the peak  
crowds were around, but i can mentally picture how a ground-based  
perspective would make it harder to see any pockets of open space in a  
large crowd.

Best regards,

So it was a bit pre-inauguration, but probably captures close to the  
1.8 million people there (largest Inaugural crowd, ever!)
