President Barack Obama officially took an oath for a second term as President of United State. The ceremony took place in Blue Room of the White House in Washington DC on Sunday Jan.20, 2013.
Gathered with his family, Obama put his hand on a family Bible and recited the 35-word oath that was read out loud by U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts.
I did it,” Obama said as he hugged his wife, Michelle, and daughters Sasha and Malia. “Thank you, sweetie,” he told Michelle when she congratulated him. “You didn’t mess up,” Sasha Obama told her father.
Early Sunday morning, Vice President Joe Biden was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, making her the first Hispanic judge to administer an oath of office for one of the nation’s two highest offices.
According to the constitution, President must take office on January 20, but if that’s a Sunday, public inaugural festivities are saved for Monday which will include a re-enactment of swearing-in from Justice John Roberts. The ceremony was televised live and streamed live on the Internet.
