Technically, Barack Obama didn’t swear out the correct presidential oath, as specified in the constitution. Chief Justice Roberts flubbed it, which lead Obama to flub it too.
I sure hope one of the thousand or so lawyers standing nearby (or taking the oath, even if he’s not authorized to practice law) thought to dot the i’s and cross the t’s by having him swear out the correct oath later in the day, because you know the deranged Obama haters are going to go crazy insisting he’s not really the president.
Update: Yup, he swore the oath again.
Personally, I think PuppyGate is a bigger deal than the oath; if the guy can’t even manage to get his kids a puppy, how’s he going to pay poor Peggy Joseph’s mortgage and gas bill?
And let’s not even get started on pushing back the rising seas with his fork.
Maybe I should start a clock on the puppy thing. E.g. Barack Obama has failed to keep his promise to give his daughters a puppy for _2_ days.
You’re being very generous; he didn’t, after all, say that he’d get them a puppy after they moved into the White House — but after he won the election.
Still, maybe there’s some way that Bush can be blamed for Obama’s inability to keep such a simple promise to his kids; certainly we’re going to be hearing Bush blamed for all the other promises that aren’t fulfilled, so why wait?
