Yep, no acknowledgment of a superior Authority (and probably sealed with a high-five).

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.

Fits the evil Bronco Bama regime:
It’s Christmas at ground zero
There’s music in the air
The sleigh bells are ringing and the carolers are singing
While the air raid sirens blare
It’s Christmas at ground zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That this is not a test
Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping
It’s the end of all humanity
No more time for last-minute shopping
It’s time to face your final destiny
It’s Christmas at ground zero
There’s panic in the crowd
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath the mushroom cloud
Ronald Reagan:
Well, the big day is only a few hours away now.
I’m sure you’re all looking forward to it
as much as we are.
You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
But if someone’s climbing down your chimney
You better load your gun and shoot to kill
It’s Christmas at ground zero
And if the radiation level’s okay
I’ll go out with you and see all the new
Mutations on New Year’s Day
It’s Christmas at ground zero
Just seconds left to go
I’ll duck and cover with my Yuletide lover
Underneath the mistletoe
It’s Christmas at ground zero
Now the missiles are on their way
What a crazy fluke, we’re gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday
What a crazy fluke, we’re gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday!
Chrissy Matthews gets to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom when Moochell is out of town with Stasha and Malaria.
...or the Necronomicon
I understood the reason for taking the oath twice this inauguration, but posted the thread for two reasons:
1) the WH press is exerting itself to ask for an open-to-the-press swearing in versus the planned private ceremony closed to the press.
2) This second-term scenario is so reminiscent of Obama's last term swearings in.
Despite historical precedents, I submit that ALL government oaths of office should be administered publicly and preserved, using the most transparent technology possible (video/film) whenever possible.
BTW, I did some research and would like to correct an error I made in post 29 to Hotlanta Mike:
There WAS audio of Obama's re-taking the oath (and a photo, but no VIDEO).
To All---FYI Research:
The first time, Obama used Lincoln's KJV Bible.
The second time, Obama used NO Bible.
Obama/Roberts FIRST (flubbed) oath of office:
Barack Obama's Oath of Office [with video and transcript]
Video: Who Stumbled on the Oath? [both did]
President Obama's oath of office taken on the King James Bible [Lincoln's KJV]
Obama to Take Oath on Same Bible as Lincoln

Obama being sworn in disgusts me no matter whether he uses a Bible or Mein Kampf.
Yep, no acknowledgment of a superior Authority (and probably sealed with a high-five).
Transparent means you can’t see it. :)
He’s probably going to swear in on the Necronomicon.
IIRC, Lyndon Johnson was sworn in on an airplane.
Yes LBJ did take the oath on the plane. (It obviously was not planned that way — the widow Kennedy had to stand sideways to hide JFK’s blood on her dress from the cameras—... and it was not done in secret... it was broadcast coast-to-coast and press pictures were also distributed.)
“What is maybe more astonishing is that the Chief Justice would swear the annointed one in using a Quran.”
No, the chief justice has been pwned ever since that “investigation” into his shady Central American adoptions.
What I’ve been wondering is: In which cases has a newly-elected President been sworn in privately on a Sunday, and then publicly the following day? Has this ever happened? Or have all Sunday swearings-in involved an incumbent President?
Exactly ... and replace the bishops and barons with imams, mullahs, and sheiks.
It’s nice that the Davis clan will get the privacy they need to see Franks kid take the Oath. His half siblings must be so proud.

Obama retakes oath of office after Roberts’ mistake

Though a Bible was used in Tuesday’s oath, one was not used for Wednesday’s.

Maybe the reason for the private ceremony is to allow Hussein O. to swear on the Koran this time? It is all part of the Commie ‘Fairness Doctrine.’
“Why would The Won feel the need to exclude the press?”
His hand will be on the Koran.
Now that he has been elected, he has a lot more "flexibility".
