Well have more highlights from that historical day, including how president obama is using his inaugural address as a call to action for a second term. Also ahead, what do you think about coworkers who show up even though they are sick . I dont do it that often. Its actually a serious story. Sometimes people dont have a choice. Sometimes they arent paid for their sick days, so they have to go to work or dont get paid. So were talking about more efforts to make sick pay mandatory.
