‘I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear 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.”

So mindful was President Obama of the importance of complying with the letter of the law that he arranged for Roberts to administer the oath again the following day. The second time, both spoke the words verbatim.

The talking heads say the same old predictable talking points for one side or the other. An election comes and goes. Obama does the same ole song and dance!
The 2/3s of the people Obama claims voted for him on Nov. 4 (by not voting).
Why not? You’d get far more fight out of a group of TEA Party granmas than out of the mice we elect for the GOP “opposition.”
Since no one heard what was said, how do we know they did it correctly the second time?
