OBAMA RE-SWORN IN
At 735 pm, Roberts administred the oath of office again to obama in the map room. Robert gibbs said the wh counsel, greg craig, believes the oath was fine Tuesday, but one word was out of sequence so they did this out of a "an abundance of caution." "We decided it was so much fun..." Obama joked while sitting on a couch. Obama stood and walked over to make small talk with pool as roberts donned his black robe. "Are you ready to take the oath?" Roberts asked. "I am, and we're going to do it very slowly," obama replied. Oath took 25 seconds. After a flawless recitation, roberts smiled and said, "congratulations, again." Obama said, "thank you, sir." Smattering of applause. "All right." Obama said. "The bad news for the pool is there's 12 more balls."
No matter how many times he swears the oath, it still doesn’t make him an American.
Obama looks like someone who is always smelling his own farts. And enjoying them.
We can blame Obama for whatever we want to. And welcome to Free Republic. Drone.
I thought that I was the only one who saw it this way.
Stress? Uncertainty? National crisis? The fear was that what had just happened to JFK was a precursor to an imminent all-out nuclear attack by the reds.
Unlike Pbama, LBJ's denomination and religious beliefs were never an issue:
“President Johnson frequently quoted the Bible to illustrate points that he wanted to make. His favorite quotation was from Isaiah 1:18, ‘Come now, and let us reason together.’ “

As I understand it from Drudge, the only thing I have heard is that there was no Bible present at the Do-over. If this is the case, the Oath was not sworn on the Bible, which would be no different than if it had done without the Bible on Tuesday. Was this dispicable act videotaped? I wouldn't be surprised if there were no cameras present. Is there precedence for this???? Is anyone else deeply concerned about this???? America?????
He had a "trigger", when Obama jumped in with his name while Roberts was still saying "do solemly swear".

Biden made a jab at Roberts and also just acted like the buffoon he is when swearing in the staffers.
Why didn’t he use Lincoln’s bible again?
It could have been snowing or a thunderous downpour of rain and that Marxist still would have used the famous Bible..but yet, he couldn’t be bothered to use it for a private swearing in? No other Bibles in the white house.

He missed a great opportunity to turn another Bible into a historic artifact. I am surprised he let the opportunity pass...
The shining light is that Obama is going to have to suffer through 4 years of Biden antics.
LOL. Either that or the powerful scent of Spam musubi.
Hm...it is customary—just interesting, but then why would he have a Bible in proximity?
Question: do you think the use of the Lincoln Bible use was 2 fold—to try to make a big deal about his historic oath, and to deflect from fact perhaps that his family doesn’t own a cherished famiy Bible?
America is in serious danger.
to add to your fear..go check out the thread about Reich and his white male construction comment...and Rangel indicating that middle america will be too busy surviving to worry about being cheated
Except for that natural born citizen Constitutional thingy.
“did not have his Bible”
I think this is extremely profound.
Of course there’s no requirement but God being left out is very interesting. As if God is saying “Not in my name.” Or He’s being told, “Not in your name.”
