AMERICA | practice begins his second term Obama swears his second term in a private ceremony at the White House

The first sentence of Barack Obama after being sworn in as president of the U.S. has been: 'I did it'. This led the U.S. president his younger daughter, Sasha, after being sworn. The president swore in the Blue Room of the White House, with his wife Michelle on the left and his daughters Malia and Sasha between him and the person who administered the oath, Chief Justice, John Roberts .Michelle Obama alongside, holding the Bible that was used in the ceremony. Only were they and the press. The Bible used was the gift that Michelle's father, Fraser Robinson, was his wife , LaVaughn, Mother's Day 1958. According to the White House, was the mother's favorite Bible for the first lady. Roberts, paradoxically, is diametrically opposed policies of Obama-no mistake this time, as in 2009, when he rolled the word orderand had to repeat the oath the next day, not so much because the first was invalid but to avoid President's legitimacy was questioned.At that time, Roberts recited the oath that is repeated by the president and the wrong memory. This time, the judge has taken a 'chop' . This Monday will be another oath, without legal value of the public.Against the familiar character that just took place this Sundaymorning are expected more than 900,000 people on the Mall, the park across the Capitol, where the ceremony will take place. In 2009 attended the first inauguration of Obama more than two million people.

Third consecutive president

He had just taken office Vice President Joe Biden , in his Naval Observatory headquarters, a complex of buildings in which, besides the second person to reside in the U.S. political and institutional hierarchy, time is set for the whole country . Biden used a Bible with a Celtic cross , recalling his Irish origins and leads using swear in all the post since January 3, 1973 became senator for the state of Delaware. Obama is the third-consecutive president after Bush 'junior' and Clinton is reelected. Such concatenation of three presidents to two terms had only one other time in U.S. history, between 1801 and 1825, when Jefferson, Madison and Monroe also won three mandates .
