Barack Obama Retakes Oath of Office
Jan 21st, 2009 | 3 responses
It was actually done by two presidents before, shocking that the reporter on Fox News doesn’t know that.
As of tonight, apparently Prez Obama re-did the recitation without the flub-up put forth by the Chief Justice, who put the oath’s words in the wrong order at the inaugural oath proper yesterday.
Frankly, though some want to take a thin thing and turn it into a big fat Jabba-the-Hut thing, this is minor.
I’m sure both President-Elect and Chief Justice were overwhelmed with the moment… and if a lot of us had done the swearing in, it might have gone something like: I swear on my honor to do my best, on Scouts’ honor, I mean, as president, I mean wait, first communion prayer, wait, no, I mean, I do. I do. That’s what I meant all along. What he said.
OK, so now Obama, to mix a metaphor, is completely kosher.

1. It does look better, as well as being strictly proper (and even legal and constitutional). This is distinct from any reaction some would have about Obama's oath not only being questionable, but also his birth certificate, and is he going to put “the muslim flag” on the wall in the Oval Office?
2. The oath got flubbed — Princess Diana, another celebrity, misspoke during the wedding ceremony. No loss in the end.
3. Chief Justice Roberts's dyslexia (by Bush's choice for the Court and for Chief Justice) is the last part of the Bush Legacy.
4. Contrast the near-silence (and prepared defense(s)?) as far as criticism of Obama here, with the case were it “senile” McCain instead.
“Chief Justice's dyslexia.” That's funny and made me laugh DLS. A nice way of saying stumbled about. I have d. too, and it makes for some embarrassing and funny moments that's for sure, especially in reversing words or saying words that have three or more syllables, like refrigerator as freeigerator. Dont ask me DLS, I cant explain it very well, I just know I have it. lol And try everything I can to not do it. But it jumps out sometimes. I think Justice was probably almost paralytically nervous. But, you know what, you might be right. He may actually have a bit of dyslexia. Dyslexia doesnt interfere with intelligence. Just sometimes displaying it in an orderly manner. lol. Serious.
Yes I like your mercy about flubbing it, including Princess Diana. “no loss in the end.”
and re muslim flag cum birth certificate, I saw somewhere in my cruising the internet last night DLS, just that. The Iraqui flag with birth certificate incorporated on wall with armed muslims in bernooses standing behind guarding Barack. Aint photo shop put to predictable ends sometimes? lol
