President Obama’s Inaugural Address And His Second Term

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/01/22/president-obamas-inaugural-address-and-his-second-term


And there he was again.  Barack Obama, President Obama, on the high steps of the Capitol.  Hand on Bible.  Two Bibles this time:  Abe Lincoln’s, Martin Luther King’s.  Taking the oath.

And turning to that always-moving sea of Inauguration Day witnesses – citizens and more – on the National Mall.

The Inaugural Address is a moment for philosophy and, sometimes, plans.  President Obama’s second inaugural sounded like both.  Progressive.  Lots of talk about the common good.  And lots of pointers forward.

This hour, On Point:  the second Obama inaugural, and the way ahead.

Week In The News: State Of The Union, Pope Out, California Killer (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/02/15/week-in-the-news-232

The State of the Union was just the start this week.  The President made his pitch.  The Republicans weren’t buying, much.  And off we went.

The pope will abdicate.  First time in nearly forever.  North Korea tested yet another nuke.  Ominous.  The LAPD hunted down a murderous one of its own.

We’ve got the GOP with an historic hold-up of a Secretary of Defense.  A giant airline merger.  “Blade runner” Oscar Pistorius charged with murder. And a nasty stranded cruise ship pulled to port.

This hour, On Point:  our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
