Obama Retakes Oath of Office

Apparently, even presidents occasionally get a do-over.

After the flub heard round the world on inauguration day, Barack Obama has retaken the oath of office, this time in a small ceremony in the White House. Chief Justice John Roberts was there to administer the oath.

Word is, everything went to script this time.

Although, Constitutionally, Obama has been president since noon on January 20th. But since the oath is written into the Constitution, the administration decided a re-do was appropriate. Interestingly, this wasnâ€™t the first re-do. Chester A. Arthur and Calvin Coolidge also retook the oath because of flubs during the initial ceremony.

When I watch all the secular-progressives drooling over Obama, I can’t help but think that I’m watching a bunch of idol-worshipping pagans.

So weird that Obama isn’t the only president that had to retake the oath. Makes it more of a genuine effort to keep things according to law. Otherwise I thought it would have been another media pull to get millions of people to watch through whatever wireless internet they could get their hands on.

How’d you feel about the far right’s sub-mental orgasms over anything spewwing out of the gob of the Bush administration that did nothing but enrich the rich and trash the country’s image for the past 8 years?

Just asking…..
