when mr. obama was derided as an insufferable overachiever in an early political race, his friends were infuriated. but even those loyal to mr. obama say that his quest for excellence can lead him to cockiness, and they tends to overestimate his capability, end of quote. so what should one predict about a second term for barack obama, particularly with these qualities of character? he most recently exhibited a combination of moving to the center while preaching was somehow detected as class welfare, targeting the wealthy for more taxes. speaker of the house boehner states that the president backed away from an agreed compromise on raising the debt limit. in an article in "the new york times" magazine tends to support that charge. and a recent book by bob woodward paints a picture of obama standing firm against john boehner and the negotiations. as the apparent requirement for resolution of major legislation approaches, and as it appears that even more rigid positions are being forecast for the next

mrs. obama attended services with their daughters at the metropolitan african methodist episcopal church. they celebrated slain civil rights leader, reverend martin luther king jr. at one of the most historic churches in washington. and tomorrow is of course, the main event. some 800,000 people expected to pack the west front of the capitol to watch president obama publicly take his oath of office. the president has already started his second term, he took the oath earlier today in an intimate swearing-in ceremony in the blue room of the white house. i want you to take a look. >> please raise your right hand and repeat after me. >> i, barack hussein obama, do solemnly swear. >> that i will execute the office of president to the united states faithfully. >> that i will execute -- >> faithfully the office of president of the united states faithfully. >> and will to the best of my ability. >> and will to the best of my ability. >> preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states.

while mr. obama promised americans stuff. president obama is going to take as much money as he can he from successful people and dole it out. not going to make any meaningful cuts in government spending. not going to do it. he might even expand the entitlement culture. i believe this will lead to economic disaster for the country. but as always, i could be wrong. and that's the men mow. now for the top story tonight let's bring in charles krauthammer from washington who has the tendency to tell me when i am wrong. isn't that right, charles? >> you are right on that and you are shockingly right in your analysis. you are starting off the year very os suspiciously. i think you are absolutely right. there is not a shred of evidence that obama any interest in cutting spending. in fact, audaciously last night, he said oh we have got to cut spending so he tossed it out. he gave a nod to it and then he immediately says but we have to increase our investments that's the word that you use if you are a democrat for spending on the usual,
