Save tomorrow for the pomp and circumstance. President Barack Obama was officially sworn-in Sunday at 11:55 a.m. in the White House's Blue Room. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office that marked the beginning of Obama's second term as president of the United States.

"I did it," Obama told his daughter, Sasha, after the brief ceremony.
