Who is this guy?

If you click here and zoom in behind Obama... who is the man in the armchair next to Cheney? (No, not Bush - on the *other* side of Cheney.) Bush, Biden and Mrs Biden are the only people in armchairs (not even Michelle Obama, Clinton, Bush 1 or Carter - they all have folding chairs). Who is this guy?? It's driving me and my mom nuts.

Apparently, he is Sen. Bennett of Utah. Check out the tagged photo on NYT:

Well why the fuck.....

Maybe this is why:

As Ranking Member of the Senate Rules Committee and a member of Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC), Senator Bennett will be participating in the Inaugural Swearing-In ceremony. (http://bennett.senate.gov/)
