Celebrities Tweeted Support For Obama's Inaugural Speech

Yesterday, President Obama was sworn in for his second term on a cold Martin Luther King Day in Washington DC. Beyoncé gave a killer performance, speeches were read, and celebrities from near and far shared their thoughts on the occasion.

Most approved of Obama's return to office and his speech:

1st time a president of US in an inaugural speech has called for equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans, also referenced Stonewall.

On this monumental day, we celebrate two amazing and inspirational men.. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President Barack Obama!

Great to hear President Obama call for climate action in today's #inaug2013 address. Congratulations Mr. President bit.ly/VgnNwd

Clearly Obama flunked his first term since he's being forced to repeat it again.

Katy Perry focused less on the event, and more on accessories:

Plenty praised Beyoncé's performance:

BOOM! #Beyonce
