President Obama’s Second Inauguration [VIDEO]

After officially being sworn in on Sunday, President Obama took the Oath of Office for a second time in an inauguration ceremony Monday. The President gave an inaugural address that touched on a wide range of subjects, while urging Americans to work together.

FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern reports from the U.S. Capitol:

In bright January sunshine, President and Mrs. Obama walked the last part of their trip, holding hands and waving to a large crowd as they strolled along Pennsylvania Ave. between Lafayette Park and the White House.  Not far behind, Vice President and Mrs. Biden, also walking and waving to the spectators.

The Inaugural Parade features almost 9,000 marchers, military and civilian, from every state in the Union.

The big day went on into the night for the President.  After a little down time following the parade, President and Mrs. Obama attended two inaugural balls held at the convention center in Washington.

The couple shared a dance to Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” sung by Grammy-winner Jennifer Hudson.  Other performers on the night included Alicia Keys and country star Brad Paisley, while Jamie Foxx serenaded Vice President Joe Biden and his wife during their first dance.

The two balls – the Commander-in-Chief Ball and the Inauguration Ball (split between two halls) – were a much lower-key night for the President than four years ago.  There were 10 balls held in 2009.
