Yesterday, President Obama was sworn in for his second term on a cold Martin Luther King Day in Washington DC. Beyoncé gave a killer performance, speeches were read, and celebrities from near and far shared their thoughts on the occasion.
Most approved of Obama's return to office and his speech:
1st time a president of US in an inaugural speech has called for equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans, also referenced Stonewall.

Clearly Obama flunked his first term since he's being forced to repeat it again.

Plenty praised Beyoncé's performance:
BOOM! #Beyonce
