He compared President Obama’s first inauguration to the current one, and said that the attendance is down by about a third from what it previously was. Baier also weighed in on what steps he thinks Obama is going to take in the next four years.
“I approach this with a certain amount of dread.” NY Post Columnist Michael Goodwin weighed in on what he is expecting in the President’s second term in office. Goodwin, who was once an Obama supporter, thinks the President keeps attacking those who don’t agree with him, and does not even treat democrats with the proper amount of respect. “The President since the election has shown that there will be no reconciliation with those who didn’t support him.”
