Obama Sworn In Again, With Right Words

I, for one, (and probably Roberts for another) will sleep better tonight

P.S.: Don’t we secretly wish Aretha and our Poet Laureate were given the same opportunity?

The Drudge headline to this article pointed out that this time, they didn’t use a Bible.

It probably doesn’t mention how that doesn’t make a difference, huh?

Wasn’t once enough? Does anybody want to hear them again?

The Washington Post too, apparently;)

After a flawless recitation that included no Bible and took 25 seconds, Roberts smiled and said, “Congratulations, again.”

So, if the whole point of swearing it again was to eliminate any shred of possibility that he didn’t actually swear the oath, does no bible mean Roberts is going to be back there again tomorrow?

It’s starting to sound like something from a Peter Sellers movie…

This whole process is Obama’s gift to the conspiracy freaks.

I’m afraid so.

I was thinking the exact same thing not so long ago (minus the Peter Sellers reference)

If so, then Steve Martin has to administer the oath this time.

Scene: Barack and Michelle awake to the sounds of Sonny and Cher singing “I Got You, Babe.” They look up as through the door walks a smiling Chief Justice Roberts, carrying the Lincoln Bible and a set of large-print cue cards. “Take three,” he says. “They said we’ve got to keep doing it over until we get it right.”

My point was that the headline on Drudge (who linked to the WaPo article) emphasized this point.

For what it’s worth (nuthin’, that is), it’s happened before - Coolidge? Taft? I think those were the ones mentioned in… the LA Times? So easy to forget.

Bible, no bible… who cares? That’s just cultural fluff that has accumulated around the important legal points.

Let’s get to the really vital stuff… did the flag in the room have a gold fringe?

Wow, he really is working to include everybody, isn’t he?

But some of the Fox “news” people are already suggesting that the pics looked like cardboard cutouts so he really isn’t President yet. Yeah, right. They went to a ton of trouble to produce lifesize cutouts to fake a swearing in. Okaaay.
