Obama Takes Oath -- Again!

Posted on January 22, 2009

Barack Obama has been sworn into the presidency for a second time -- just in case!

Chief Justice John Roberts administered the presidential oath of office to Obama for a second time, after Roberts blew his lines on Tuesday, causing the Commander-in-Chief to repeat the wording differently from how it reads in the Constitution.

White House Counsel Greg Craig released a statement regarding the unusual ceremony that reads: "We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday. But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time."

The President and the Chief Justice performed the redo in the Map Room of the White House on Wednesday night.

NO BIBLE this time around.. the actual oath in front of cameras, and millions of people was “show”!

This time, no bible, and no allegiance to GOD… this is the one that is “real” for him. Shifty and untrustworthy- that’s how I saw him in the campaign, and that’s STILL how I see him to this day!

After the meeting, House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, questioned the size of the bill, now at $825 billion but expected to grow. “We expressed our concern about some of the spending that is being proposed in the House bill,” he said.” We’re borrowing this money from our kids.”

He said he doesn’t understand, for example, why the bill includes “hundreds of millions” of dollars for contraceptives. “How does that stimulate the economy?” he asked.

SOUNDS LIKE THINGS ARE HEADED DOWNHILL INSTEAD OF UPHILL. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.


- hundreds of millions for contraceptives????

If the Chief Justice John Roberts came back to the white house in his robe to have the President take the oath of office a second time, wouldn’t it be more official if the President had his hand on the bible as it is suppose to be?

Doing a redo in my book is not official if that was not done.
