Barack Obama sworn in for his second term as US President

21 Jan

President Barack Obama has kicked off his second term in office starting with a major inauguration celebration.

Obama is the first president to be sworn in twice in one weekend since Ronald Reagan (The U.S. Constitution states that the president is to be inaugurated January 20 of the year following his/her election, but because it’s fallen on a Sunday, it will take place again on Monday).

President Obama took the oath of office on a family Bible at a close gathering in the Blue Room of the White House overnight, before being sworn in again at a public ceremony tomorrow.

After the ceremony, which lasted less than a minute, Mr Obama hugged his wife, Michelle, and his two girls Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, before saying to his youngest daughter: “I did it“.

But before it’s back to business, Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle will enjoy tomorrow’s festivities which include performances by Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor as they take the stage at the presidential inauguration.
