Around the nation with The Takeaway: Chicago

The World

Our conversation with the nation continues as we look for reactions to this historic Inauguration. We now turn to Chicago where WBEZ reporter Tony Arnold tells us how Obama’s political home town is preparing to watch their Senator become President. The New York Times’ Marcus Mabry rides along to give his thoughts on the events.
