WASHINGTON -- Don't expect any partying at the White House on Wednesday.

Press secretary Robert Gibbs says nothing special is being planned to take note of Barack Obama's first year as president. Obama took the oath of office on the steps of the Capitol around noon on Jan. 20, 2009.

[Nachum]

Except that he had to go back and say the oath again in private afterwards. Maybe you don't want the public to remember how you muffed the words and then wouldn't let anyone see you transparently hide what was oathed the second time, but we do Mr. Obama. We do.

We are keeping a list and checking it thrice.

No events to mark first year, huh? Not true. There is an election in Mass. to mark the first year.

[dep]

what? no events? not even attendance at the swearing in of scott brown?

[mouse_35]

This reminds me to wear black tomorrow.

A Scott Brown win will be celebration enough.

[ncfool]

I thought he would invite the Black panthers and The Ayers to have dinner.

[FourPeas]

I’d say this special election in Massachusetts is celebration enough.

Pray for Malia and Sasha. Life can get very ugly for the children of narcissistic fathers when things aren’t going well.

[elpadre]

but, but, you have a party for everything else - why not??

[Always Right]

Shouldn’t he be getting a report card with a big B+ on it?

[musicman]

I wouldn’t want to be the dog.

[RichInOC]

Just sitting in a dark room for the day, gently weeping.

[Shaka]

Kool-aid anyone?? Haha...love it!

[Doogle]

..maybe his second year he'll spend sometime in the WHITE HOUSE, ya know behind the nonappluading,nonfainting,nonadoring desk in the oval office
Has anyone seen the days he's actually been in Washington over the last year?

[paulycy]

Oh, I don’t know. Sucking up your enormous ego and spewing a bunch of new marxist daydreams during the SOTU is a pretty big event whether or not the conservatives decide to boycott it.

It might actually be too much fun to miss if Brown wins tonight. Whatever.

GO BROWN!

[Prole]

A year of nothing but ineptitude, inadequacy and malaise, eh?

Yeah, baby!

Obama's gonna party like it's January 20, 1978!

[fatnotlazy]

Obama doesn’t have to have a one year celebration. I understand that MSNBC has planned its own slobberfest. Expect the rest of the mainstream media to follow suit.

[Dixie Yooper]

The anniversary date must be out of sync with their party every three nights schedule.

[VeniVidiVici]

They don’t need to plan anything. Obama and friends party so much I’m sure they can cover it with a similar celebration.

[hsalaw]

The Obumblers throw three or four parties a week, with wagu beef and caviar, all for their best buds and hangers-on, so maybe just having their normal number of parties is sufficient.

Plus, after the smackdown in MA today, he'd look like an idiot (or even more like a idiot) if he threw a party tomorrow celebrating himself.

Don't expect any partying at the White House on Wednesday////////No just planning and plotting on how to destroy America before Nov 2010!!!!
