This is not a big deal. Roberts screwed it up first. If we expect presidents to know it by heart, then why do we need anyone to stand up there and say the words before he does? Why can’t the president just recite the oath on his own?
Get used to it.
Liberal slugs and the mainstream gutless wonders trashed Bush from the minute he was elected. Their Liberal God deserves the same, IMO.
I think he should recite the proper oath during halftime at the Superbowl.
NO. Nobody gets a free pass in politics.
Considering he is quite possibly not even Constitutionally elligible by birth, it’s a very small matter in comparison.
However, oath or not, he’s the President as of noon yesterday. Who was the Pres so drunk that he couldnt finish the oath thus ushering in that law?
It’s a sign that his Presidency is flubbed from the beginning, and it was the first of four signs today.
Next was the seizure of Uncle Teddy followed by the collapse of the democrats own KKK member Byrd.
To round out the day was a dump in the DOW of 332 points.
Obama deserves the same kind of respect his Drones gave the last president. No. No pass.
I think its a small thing...but telling. It seems no coordination was done prior, much less an actual rehearsal. Obama’s in charge - its his responsibility to make things go ‘right’.
How about the Rev Lowery thing?
Look, we don’t know how well he did in school, so no wonder he screws everything up. No documents. No nuthin’. He is a FREAK.
Its sort of related to what would happen after noon on the 20th if we were Pearl Harbored but the ceremony was behind schedule and the new President had not be sworn in - who is President, do we even have a President.
ABC (yeah I know, not my favorite source either) said the consensus among legal scholars was that the new President takes office at noon, oath or no oath.
That’s better than the other choice that if the new VP has been sworn - he would be acting President until the new President completed the ceremony.
Obama interrupted Chief Justice Roberts FIRST!!!
Obama made the first mistake. He was giggling before the swearing in like a clown. Then he interrupted Roberts which lead to Roberts being thrown.
He was giggling before he started. The whole ceremony was a joke to Clown Hussein. He was laughing when the swearing in first started and then HE INTERRUPTED the Chief Justice.
Especially if we hyper-focus on things like this. Our nation is under attack and the best we can do is complain about the way the President took the oath. Flame me if you will but I see this as absurdly trivial.
flubbed the oath of office... and that just the start.. rofl
Yet he could not save his oath...made a fool of himself.
It was an EPIC FAIL.
And I am laughing my arse off, and will mock him to everyone I meet from this day forward.
Would Bush have been given a pass?
Yeah, we know the answer to that.
His word means absolutely nothing.
Nothing.
The man has no self-respect.
None.

I think Hoover simply stated “I do” when he was sworn in 80 years ago.
