President Barack Obama was officially inaugurated for his second term as 44th President of the United States on Monday morning (January 21, 2013). The Commander-in-Chief was sworn into office by Chief Justice John G. Roberts in an intimate ceremony witnessed by family and friends in the White House’s Blue Room. After taking the oath of office with two bibles - one belonging to Abraham Lincoln, the other to Martin Luther King Jr, President Barack Obama addressed the crowd of supporters in an impassioned speech at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Obama delivered his second inaugural address in front of 600,000 people, including Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Beyonce Knowles, John Mayer, and Eva Longoria. After that, Barack Obama participated in the traditional parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, following his wife Michelle and daughters, Sasha and Malia, who were dressed smartly in brightly-coloured winter coats. The 45th president was also joined by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, Senators and other officials during the Inauguration Parade.
