Watch President Obama's Inauguration Speech in 3 Minutes

President Barack Obama was sworn into office Monday marking his second term in the Oval Office.

In his inauguration speech, Obama referenced the polarized politics that took hold of the election season and asked the American people to begin calling upon collective action.

The speech, held at the Capitol, went on to mention the founding fathers, quoted the Declaration of Independence, and discussed the economy, climate change and gun control. Obama even became the first American president to use the word "gay" in an inaugural address.

Our friends at NowThisNews condensed the 18-minute speech into just 163 seconds to highlight some of Obama's most inspiring, powerful and important messages of the day. Watch it above.
