Obama Takes Oath Again, Just to Be SafePosted on Jan 21, 2009
The second time was the charm for Chief Justice John Roberts, who flawlessly administered the oath of office to Barack Obama a day after botching the pledge. The White House counsel explained that they opted for a repeat “out of an abundance of caution.” Obama actually legally became the president even before taking the oath the first time.

No bible and Obama is not a citizen, did he have his flag pin on?
Did you hear about the lady who tried to flush a bible down her toilet, the plumbing bills killed her. So, we can only conclude flushing a bible down a toilet will kill you.
Expanding ignorance makse more of the same.

Well now the right wingnuts say that since no bible was used that he still isn’t the President. This young man will be highly scrutinized under a microscope. He will be held to a higher standard than any other leader we have ever had.

The flub up actually revealed something important about Obama’s personality. Instead of doing what he knew was right, he followed an athority whom he knew to be wrong.

On Chief Justice John Roberts botching the first oath of office, what do you expect, Roberts is just another incompetent Bush appointee.

Since many ignorant morons still do not believe Obama is a citizen, this was made to order the whiners like “Limbaugh” and “Fox not the news” to use as whining fuel for the imbeciles calling attention to something, anything, let’s face it they have nothing else to do.

This was a smart move by the Obama “camp”, and irregardless of whether Obama himself will or won’t traverse the “tightrope”, I would have done the same thing.
The current state of affairs isn’t accepting of what once would have been considered the only honorable avenue.
