With array of challenges, Obama kicks off second term at public inauguration WASHINGTON: Four years after making history by becoming the first African-American president, Barack Obama will kick off his second term with a scaled-back inauguration that reflects the tempered expectations for his next four years in office. Lingering high unemployment, bitter political battles and a divisive re-election campaign have punctured the mood of optimism and hope that infused Obama's 2009 inauguration after a sweeping election win. This time, Obama's inauguration will feature smaller crowds and a reduced slate of inaugural balls and parties to match the more subdued tenor of the times. When Obama raises his right hand to be sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts outside the U.S. Capitol at 11.55 a.m. EST (1655 GMT), it will be his second time taking the oath in 24 hours. He had a formal private swearing-in at the White House because of a constitutional requirement that the president be sworn in on January 20. Rather than stage the full inauguration, the main public events were put off. Obama will take the oath again and deliver his inaugural address from the Capital's west front overlooking the National Mall, where a crowd of up to 700,000 is expected to watch. That is down significantly from the record 1.8 million people who jammed Washington in 2009 for Obama's first inauguration. The focal point will be Obama's inauguration address, which he will use to lay out in broad terms his vision for the next four years but will stay away from policy specifics.

He said having power for the sake of power was akin to having poison, and that the focus should be to evolve positives rather than negatives from power. He also called for an end to infighting within the
Congress party, saying that the grand old party still has the support of every single Indian, and should not lose it. While thanking senior Congress leaders and supporters for the support and education that they had provided him during his eight years in politics, Rahul Gandhi said: "This (being made vice-president of the Congress Party) is a huge honour for me. Over the past eight years, the party has taught me tremendously. I have learnt from seniors, youngsters and thank all of them for the help that I have got from the bottom of my heart." The Gandhi scion called for change in the largely centralised system and also raised the issue of youth anger spilling on the streets.
