Is see the stock market agrees with this assessment of a dismal immaculation speech. It tanked 340 points, 5%.

We were tipped off when the oaf of office was botched.

Empty suit delivers empty speech.

The beginning of the speech was soooo depressing. Anything after that was lost.

We’ve lost a POTUS and gained a POSER.

Unfortunately it was Chief Justice Roberts that botched the oaf. Hussein was just thrown off by the goof.

So does this mean that the words are not going to be chiseled into marble? That would be bad news for all of those out of work stone masons.

There's a bigger question.
Will it pass Peggy Noonan's Estrogen Test?

"Sitting here not three hours since the speech was given, it is sad to think that I can’t recall a single line from memory"

I was thinking the same thing...

If true just think how Putin,Hassan,Akmandinajad,Chavez and other advesaries will have their way with him. Roberts may have been nervous too. But he isn’t the leader of then semi-free world. Ya think they would have practiced this once or twice.

I have been doing important thijgs today like cleaning up the attic. I can understand Justice Roberts botching the oath if he did, it was his subconscious punishing him for swearing in this usurper.

The words should have stuck in his throat, he just sold the Constitution down the river.

"Yes We Can" is not the most lyric of lines.

It was a theft of Cesar Chavez's lines.

I guess he couldnt find a better speech to plagiarize?

While reading this I was listening to the radio and some commentator stated “parts of this speech will be carved into granite” (or “may well be carved, etc.”). The sickening veneration of this guy just continues. It was an outtake on the Sean Hannity show.

Oh, barf.

No he didn't, the dimwits and libtards that voted for the messiah are the ones that did the selling. Obama automatically became president at 12:00 whether Roberts said a word or not.

Please place the blame squarely where it belongs.

No, listen again. Obama started to repeat the first part of a section of the oath before Roberts had finished giving it to him.

That threw the whole thing off, and they both started to stumble. It’s linked on Drudge.

Fox says that they both stumbled. But I think it was Obama jumping in before Roberts had finished speaking.

Couldn’t watch this BS. Played my DVD of Celtic Women and relaxed with an occasional switch to Fox Business to watch the DJ tank.
