Obama Takes Oath Again, Just to Be Safe
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.

TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARPolitical Wire:
White House Counsel Greg Craig released this statement:
“We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday. But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time.”
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
