Obama Takes Oath Of Office In White House Ceremony
President Obama's second term officially begins Sunday: He took the oath of office in an intimate ceremony at the White House, fulfilling the constitutional requirement to take the oath before noon on Jan. 20.
NPR's Ari Shaprio reported on the swearing-in for our Newscast unit. Here's what he said:
"Family and a few close friends gathered in the Blue Room of the White House. The president placed his hand on a family Bible and recited the oath with Chief Justice John Roberts.
"The president hugged his wife and daughters and said, 'I did it.' The vice president was sworn in earlier in the day. They will repeat the oaths in public on Monday."
