2013 Presidential Inauguration

Today, January 21, 2013, marks the beginning of President Barack Obama's second term. Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama were sworn in and took their oaths in front of hundreds of thousands of people. President Obama, in his inaugural address, spoke of change and unapologetic progress.

 "My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -so long as we seize it together," the president declared.

The word "together" appeared seven times in the president's speech. He also used the phrase, "we, the people" five times.

He continued to say, "Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time, but it does require us to act in our time."
