1/22/13 BR
Monday, January 21, 2012 was Martin Luther King Jr. Day along with the inaugarition of the U.S. President. President Obama gave his second inauguration to the public on Sunday, January 21
but it wasn't aired until the 22nd. Obama recited everything that took place
in the past four years and thing's that are going to happen in the next four,
we hope. He talked about gun control, and gay rights. It was the first
time a President championed gay marriage in inaugural address. Gun
control was mostly his main point. Beyonce sang the National Anthem at the
ball for everyone who attended. Over a million people attended the inauguration
in 2008 but only 800,000 previously. Republicans weren't pleased with Obama's
speech and said that he didn't outreach to everyone enough. Many festivities
took place througout the week, such as a ball and a parade. It was the 57th
Inauguration Ceremony. It usually lasts all day and all night. He says the
White House looks forward to continuing to work with both the House and the
Senate to increase certainty and stability for the economy. More
specifically, they targeted the defense of the programs such as Social
Security, Medicare and Medicaid
