WASHINGTON (AP) &acirc;�� Turning the page on years of war and recession, President Barack Obama summoned a divided nation Monday to act with &quot;passion and dedication&quot; to broaden equality and prosperity at home, nurture democracy around the world and combat global warming as he embarked on a second term before a vast and cheering crowd that spilled down the historic National Mall.  &quot;America's possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands,&quot; the 44th president declared in a second inaugural address that broke new ground by assigning gay rights a prominent place in the wider struggle for equality for all.  In a unity plea to politicians and the nation at large, he called for &quot;collective action&quot; to confront challenges and said, &quot;Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time &acirc;�� but it does require us to act in our time.&quot;  The events highlighted a day replete with all the fanfare that a security-minded capital could muster &acirc;�� from white-gloved Marine trumpeters who heralded the arrival of dignitaries on the inaugural stands to the mid-winter orange flowers that graced the tables at a traditional lunch with lawmakers inside the Capitol.  Outside, the Inaugural Parade took shape, a reflection of American musicality and diversity that featured military units, bands, floats, the Chinese American Community Center Folk Dance Troupe from Hockessin, Del., and the Isiserettes Drill &amp; Drum Corps from Des Moines, Iowa.  An economic recovery has begun, said the president who presided over the end to the U.S. combat role in Iraq, set a timetable for doing the same in Afghanistan and took office when the worst recession in decades was still deepening.  While that was far from surprising for a Democrat, his emphasis on the need to combat global climate change was unexpected, as was his firm new declaration of support for full gay rights.  Moments after being sworn in, the president signed nomination papers for four new appointees to his Cabinet, Sen. John Kerry for secretary of state, White House chief of staff Jacob Lew to be treasury secretary, former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel for defense secretary and White House adviser John Brennan to head the CIA.
