Don’t be ridiculous. The point is not even debatable. He couldn’t get away with publicly lying about something like that, even if he might be able to about lots of other things in his life.

A stealth ‘preist’ for Molech isn’t going to consider the lievs of just born alive infants ‘precious’. He used their killing as a means to empower himself with the pro-choice pustules of the DNC.

Dittos on the video. I don’t want to take anybody’s word on it, and I don’t like the idea of a president who hasn’t taken the oath properly (even though I doubt it will make any difference in what he does).

I wonder if he was trying to get away with not really taking the oath.

All right, I'll use the logic of a typical Democrat.

Obama has now admitted that he is holding power illegitimately. He should resign.

He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, which means he was in the top 10 percent of the class.

Not so fast. Magna traditionally goes to the Top 10% of the class, but there is no Gore-like controlling legal authority that forces Harvard Law School to make it so. HLS could bestow Magna on whomsoever they particular shine to. We don't know where Obama graduated exactly in the class at HLS on the basis of grades. Was it 25 out of 280? As we don't know where he was exactly in the Top 10%, neither do we know if he was in the Top 10%.

He got into HLS on AA, onto the Law Review possibly on AA, and was made President of the HLR on AA. For all we know, Obama's Magna was recognition of him being President of the HLR. It would have looked funny to have the President of the HLR not be Magna.

This I think is a lot more likely than Obama having the genius intellect to be Magna at HLS. If Obama had such intellect he would have had terrific LSAT's. If he had, we would have heard about them, but haven't. He would have graduated with some Honors from Columbia. He didn't. If he had terrific LSAT's he would have had great SAT's. We haven't heard about these either. If he had terrific SAT's he would have gotten into a college more illustrious (especially as an African American) than Occidental, just out of Prep school. He didn't.

Obama Magna at HLS is either the world's biggest example of a late bloomer, or was a social Magna, bestowed on Obama because he the was the HLS faculty pet.

You are terribly naive, my FRiend. Dangerously so. Tell me, do you believe that Hamas has a children's TV show that teaches little pre-school Palestinians that Jews are monsters that need need to be killed, and suicide bombing is a worthy goal?

"Don’t be ridiculous. The point is not even debatable. He couldn’t get away with publicly lying about something like that, even if he might be able to about lots of other things in his life."

You have no idea what is oozing through the gates of Hell right now, mate. No idea whatsoever.

That may be a fair distinction, but Barry WhatsIts has yet to demonstrate even conversational intelligence, let alone expertise with deductive logic or abstract thought capability. In those terms, how would you rate our previous President?

Irrelevant and immaterial. Nobody ever asserted GWB was "brilliant", and the "smartest president ever". All these ridiculous superlatives being heaped on His Kenyanness need *some* evidential support, don't you agree?

So does that mean that everything up to the oath, such as executive orders, have to be reissued?

It should, the Constitution requires "Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:". But they probably won't bother, and it really wouldn't matter, how hard can it be and how long can it take to reissue the orders?

Who swore him in? Rahm E

Doesn't really matter, the Constitution only requires that the oath be taken. It could just stand and recite it, with only a witness.

I’m sure the point has been made, but the article I read said he retook the oath out of an abundance of caution... is this the same caution he used when deciding not to release a birth certificate?

This guy doesn’t care a hill of beans about the Constitution or anything else that makes America what it is. I don’t get it.

You perhaps realize this is a spiritual war, and those whom Christ will call out as His bride must stand against this evil as they discern it. Time is short

Actually I think he only has to have a witness to him reciting it. The prompting was so he got it right.....I was just being a SA.

So was biden pres for a day?

This is going to be a historical footnote and a great trivial pursuit game several years from now, although the question will probably be in Chinese. "What administration was so incompetent that the President actually screwed up his oath of office in such a way as that the Vice President was technically President for day until the Present retook the oath?"

Obama swearing in

Hi Rose, I wasn't sure if you couldn't find it because you checked before they were posted, so I did a search on YouTube.

There are loads of video. Many with the fumble intact. So if you can avoid eating something prior, you can check them out.
