10 times to that same song, over and over again. It was weird. Is that typical? Doesn't the couple dance to any song at each ball, or does it have to be one specific song?

Hee-hee...

Welcome to the world of 24x7 cable news TV. The News Cycle has now been shortened to 15 minutes.

That wasn't a problem in the past, because people were at the Ball that they were at, and nobody knew what other Balls were like until the Social Circuit had lunches and coffees and teas in the days afterwards to compare notes.

Yeah, it seems BO’s blunder tripped up Roberts. He interrupted the flow of the oath.

Roberts completely screwed it up yesterday.

Sure seems so. Don't you just read that kind of stuff from a que card?

Then obama screwed up twice if he walked on Justice Roberts lines...’cause after Justice Roberts misplaced the word ‘faithfully’...obama paused, Justice Roberts repeated the line corrected.

Don't tell that to the Obamamedia. They'll brand you a nonbeliever.

What I found particularly interesting was this line from the AP story:

“The president said he did not have his Bible with him, but that the oath was binding anyway.”

Undoubtedly intentional.

<<I agree, very interesting observation.

Let’s be clear about this. Obama screwed up first —he stepped on Roberts because he was too impatient to take the oath.

"Just saw the replay—Biden didn’t know why they were doing the oath again and Obama “reminded” him that it was for the Senior Staff (or something like that) and Biden said, “My memory isn’t as good as it used to be” or something equally awkward that could come back to haunt him."

I watched this live this morning, and right after Smilin' Joe commented about his memory, he added, "Like Justice Roberts..." to audible gasps, giggles and groans from the audience.

I agree Obama screwed up first. I guess Obama’s smoked too many drugs and his memory is permanently damaged.

IMO, everyone was told NOT to use the word “Hussein” yesterday—when they introduced BHO to come down the stairs during the oath, the announcer said “Barack H. Obama!”

Then Diane Feinstein refered to him as simply “Barack Obama”...but then when Justice Roberts spoke his name “Barack HUSSEIN Obama”, HolyO makes a bit of a startled face and starts to talk over Roberts, who then tries to repeat the next line quickly and he flubs on ‘faithfully’—then HolyO gets caught on “...will execute...”(anyone else think he was thinking “YOU, CJ, FOR MESSING UP MY OAF OF OFFICE!!!” ;-) And then they kind of rushed through the remainder of the oath.

Did a chief justice do the oath on the plane with LBJ after the JFK assassination?

Since the person administering the oath in the famous picture is a woman, the answer is, “No.”

While flying back to Washington they feared that the assassination might be the first blow in a nuclear surprise attack, so it was felt that the oath should be administered immediately. I have no knowledge whether there was a “do over” later.

My personal feeling is that taking the oath in the presence of witnesses is adequate, and that no one need administer the oath, but that is my opinion. Since the exact words of the oath are specified in the Constitution, I think the "do over" was appropriate.

The constitution specifies the exact wording of the oath, but not who should administer it.

When President Harding died, Vice President Calvin Coolidge was visiting his father in Vermont. When word of the death arrived, Coolidge senior, a notary public, administered the oath to his son. There WAS a “do over” a few days later, since it was questioned whether a notary public was adequate.

The second time he recited the oath correctly, but didn’t have his hand on the Bible, there was no Bible anywhere in sight.

It seems the Bible for him at the first swearing in was just a prop.

I'm pretty sure there is no requirement for a Bible of for the oath. Customary, but not necessary.

"Faithfully" was the out of placed word.

It was the logical choke point - truth has fallen in the street.
