According to reports, Donald Trump has shown Barack Obama's letter to him on inauguration day to Oval Office visitors and others visiting his private White House residence. It has become customary in the US for outgoing presidents to leave letters for their successors with every president doing it since George H.W. Bush wrote one for Bill Clinton.
These are the inaugural parade highlights with special scenes of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and His wife Dr. Jill Biden as well as dignitaries and military in dress uniform.
In his inauguration Speech President Obama made it perfectly clear that he views "Gay Rights" as a very important part of equal rights for all Americans. He also includes people of all race and color, immigrants and women. He took this special inauguration day on MLK day to take a strong stand on equal rights for everyone.
Today President Obama was sworn in for a second term in front of his Cabinet, Supreme Court Justices, Congress, Police, Military, Dignitaries and the American Public at the US Capital. Yesterday Barack Obama took the same oath of office of President of The United States in a private ceremony in the White House with Justice John Roberts and family. Both were very proud moments for the Obama family and the United States.
