NBC NATIONAL NEWS — President Obama takes the stage this morning having already been sworn in for a second term at the White House Sunday.

Hundreds of thousands will witness the second inauguration.

Many traveled hundreds of miles just to get a glimpse of the president.

One of the biggest unknowns here today is what the president will say in his inaugural address before a divided nation, a divided Congress and a unified crowd who've come to witness history.
