The White House Correspondents Association is strongly urging the Obama administration to allow press access to the president’s official swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 20, following indications from inauguration committee officials that the event could potentially be closed to the press.
“Mindful of the historic nature of this occasion, we expect the White House will continue the long tradition of opening the President’s official swearing-in to full press access, and we as an organization are looking forward to working with the administration to make that happen,” Ed Henry, the Fox News correspondent and president of the White House Correspondents Association, said in a statement.

I sat under the big screen and passionately paged through a magazine, and ocasionally rolled my eyes and huffed. When someone said, “hi!, isn’t it a great day!”, not like Vinnie Antonelli, but like Leticia in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” I said, “pshaww!”.
I felt very powerful (not).
Sounds like a typical winter day in ND or Colorado, or Montana etc etc etc.
What I wonder is, Has it always been an incumbent President?
He's supposed to swear:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
That's a laugh.
septic safe ???
We share the same opinion.
Plus he probably does want a Koran for his illegal/private/Roberts version.
Why bother, the swearing in will be as counterfeit as his Birth Certificate
Close, but in Obama’s case instead of the pope it would be an Iranian mullah.
He’s probably going to come out of the closet, in secret, and swear in on the Koran.
And, by the way, the press will never, ever turn on their fuhrer.
They love and worship him.
They play this game to pretend they have some objectivity.
If they really wanted to “turn,” they’d investigate and report on Benghazi the way they would have had it been Bush that was at the center of this treasonous activity and massive cover up for political reasons.
She just asked for a source, a reasonable request. Ellison and the other muslim congresscritter from Indiana are as far as I know the only two public figures in Washington to be sworn in on the Koran. Ellison insisted on using Jefferson’s Quran.
Hasn’t happened yet. Obama’s a commie whose god is himself, he’d probably prefer to be sworn in on his own biography but probably wouldn’t object or even notice if the chief justice opts to pull one over on him and swear him in on Economics for Dummies.
I take it Jefferson didn’t take a pair of scissors to his Koran the way he did the Bible.
Good catch!
You are correct!
I would really like to see a semblance of patriotism from him and, after his $4 million, three week vacation in Hawaii, he decides to forego all the inaugural balls and parties in the interest of saving money during these tough times. Fat chance - I know!
They made him a leftwing deity, and now complain when he exercises his privilege.
He wants to use a Koran instead of the bible and will have a small group of dignitaries from the Muslim/Arab world to recognize him as the Grand Mufti of the West.The Muslim Brotherhood will compose the guest list.
(Even King Obama knows when to hide his own treason from the public Repubic.)
All Hail Barak Hussein Obama, KING of the United States of America and Zimbabwe , Grand Mufti of the Caliphate of North America, Defender of the Wahabi/Sunni Faith!
As I recall from my African History class, the Zimbabwean Kings of Old were chosen from the general population based on their popularity - the most popular became the new King. Sort of like electing a President these days here in the US.
During their reign, each King was allowed to do and have whatever he wanted/wished. Then, after some time, maybe a year or so, the King was publicly executed, and the search for a new King would begin again.
And so it goes ...
