US Chief Justice John Roberts has administered the presidential oath of office to President Barack Obama during his second inauguration. Mr Obama took the oath of office for the second time after his intimate swearing-in ceremony at the White House on Sunday. The 20th amendment to the US Constitution requires that presidential terms end at noon on January 20 -- but according to tradition, when that date falls on a Sunday, the president takes the oath a second time in public the next day. A crowd of up to 800000 people is expected to gather on the National Mall to witness the event. After repeating the swearing-in ritual and giving his inaugural speech, he will then make the traditional journey, part of it on foot, down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. While Mr Obama convincingly won a second term, the jubilation that surrounded him four years ago is subdued this time around -- often the case for second-term presidents. He guided the country through many crushing challenges after taking office in 2009: ending the Iraq war, putting the Afghan war on a course toward US withdrawal and saving the collapsing economy. Yet he faces bitter confrontation with opposition Republicans over gun control, avoiding a default on the nation's debts, cutting the spiralling federal deficit and preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon. Joe Biden was sworn in for his second term as vice president earlier on Sunday, taking the oath at his official residence at the US Naval <b>...</b>Author: telegraphtv

Obama takes presidential oath of office
In the wake of December's horrific mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, Vice President Joe Biden is chairing a panel of experts that will make gun-control recommendations to President Barack Obama by the end of the month. The president has said that enacting new restrictions on guns will be one of his highest priorities. No one wants to ever again see anything like the senseless slaughter of 26 people -- including 20 children - at a school. But as legislators turn toward creating new gun laws, here are five facts they need to know. 1. Violent crime -- including violent crime using guns -- has dropped massively over the past 20 years. The violent crime rate - which includes murder, rape, and beatings - is half of what it was in the early 1990s. And the violent crime rate involving the use of weapons has also declined at a similar pace. 2. Mass shootings have not increased in recent years. Despite terrifying events like Sandy Hook or last summer's theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, mass shootings are not becoming more frequent. "There is no pattern, there is no increase," says criminologist James Allen Fox of Northeastern University, who studies the issue. Other data shows that mass killings peaked in 1929. 3. Schools are getting safer. Across the board, schools are less dangerous than they used be. Over the past 20 years, the rate of theft per 1000 students dropped from 101 to 18. For violent crime, the victimization rate per 1000 <b>...</b>
The one and only Madonna rocked the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan on Thursday, November 8th, 2012. Her encore consisted of a medley of her hit singles "Celebration" and "Give It 2 Me." But most importantly, Madonna and her dancers all rocked these awesome OBMA shirts!!! (Which is a play on her "MDNA" album title and tour name.) I am glad Madonna gets it and knows that Obama is only good for this country! EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL! Follow me on Twitter! www.twitter.com

While this may make headlines, we ask Lew Rockwell of the Ludwig Von Mises Institute about one aspect of the Federal Reserve that has not made front page news: how the Fed, with its printing press, may be making war easier. After all, if the people of the United States were asked to write a check every year to the IRS in order to fund the exploding deficits and rising interest payments on the national debt, would they continue to support all these wars? Randolph Bourne may have famously quipped that "war is the health of the state," but it isn't the health of the economy, this is for certain. If the American people could identify their miserable economic plight with the actions of the federal reserve and with the hundreds of billions of dollars spent every year on war and defense, it is reasonable to expect that they would simply refuse the burden all together. We will ask Lew Rockwell, Chairman of the Ludwig Von Mises Institute what he thinks, and if he thinks that war is made easier by a pliant and compliant central bank. And, sticking with this issue of the Federal Reserve as the great "enabler," what about it's role in "disabling" and dismembering America's dwindling middle class? How responsible is the Federal Reserve and its quantitative easing, zero percent interest rate policy <b>...</b>

"Россия - без вопросов геополитический враг номер один, и факт того, что наш президент пытается делать с ними что-то, о чем не хочет говорить американскому народу перед выборами, я нахожу очень и очень тревожным", - заявляет кандидат на пост президента США от Республиканской партии Митт Ромни. Удивленный таким заявлением ведущий даже переспросил. "Вы уверены, что Россия - главный враг?" -- спросил ведущий. Бывший губернатор повторил: "без сомнений - она поддерживает худшие мировые режимы - Сирию и Иран". Угрозой Ромни назвал даже право вето, которым наша страна обладает в Совете безопасности ООН.
Are you ready for a Nerdy Valentines Day? bit.ly In which John Green examines the question of whether President Barack Obama is a Muslim in the wake of a recent opinion poll showing that more than one fifth of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim.
