Obama takes the oath... again
By Michael J.W. Stickings
Yes, because Chief Justice Roberts flubbed it, screwing up the one job he had to do, because he and Obama just weren't on the same wavelength, and because idiots like Fox News's Chris Wallace made a big deal of the error and asked if Obama really was the president, even though he was, already, at noon on Inauguration Day, before he even swore on the Lincoln Bible, and because some "experts" thought it might be a good idea, and because of "an abundance of caution," as White House Counsel Greg Craig put it, and simply because the issue had to be put to rest, Obama took the presidential oath again, tonight, this time at the White House, presumably with Roberts not screwing up.
Okay. Can we move on? It's over.

I loved the look on Obama's face when Roberts screwed up.
He had this look on his face like "yup, that's why I voted against you."

I agree, Patrick, it was priceless. I thought the look was, "thanks for ruining my perfect day," but, in the end, I think it was a very human moment, with both of them realizing they just weren't on the same page.

It amuses me to no end that some of these media figures would jump all over Obama because Roberts screwed up.
Robertas, as I recall, was their guy. They wanted him, so they have to take some responsibility for him.
