Buddha forgive me for getting into this, and maybe you've already enlightened us sheeple on this before in your eight million posts on Obama's birth certificate, but how do you explain the Honolulu Advertiser notice of birth from immediately after Obama's birth stating that a son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Barack Obama of Honolulu? And, sorry "its a forgery" and "they" are in on it too is basically an admission that the tin foil hat fits. You, not me.
Sheeple8
There is no recording of the swearing in of Calvin Coolidge. Or for that matter, I don't believe Lyndon Johnson's swearing in was voice recorded, only photographed.
So, we just have to take it on the word of those who were there that the oath was recited exactly as delineated in the Constitution.
I'm no a Constitutional scholar, but I believe that the powers of the presidency devolved to Johnson the moment John Kennedy was declared dead in Dallas. And to Barack Obama the moment the clock struck noon in Washington on Tuesday.
But, as a practical matter, and likely a legal one, nobody is ever going to be able to have a challenge upheld to presidential legality over the transposition of a few words in the oath recital.
Someone sucks!
That's being unduly kind to any of the stooges at Fox "News".
I hope that Obama has the brains and the balls to break up the monopolistic corporate ownership of America's public airwaves. The fact that so few control the mass media, possessing the power to disseminate propaganda and dictate the terms of national debate, is what has led us down this blind alley, where we we've been collectively mugged.
Since the 20th Amendment the President does not need to take the oath... it's automatically his at 12 noon January 20th. Now what part of this simple statement do they NOT understand?
This is for something stinks....
The REAL reason that Barack Hussein Obama took the oath again is because he wanted to take the official oath on the Koran and dedicate it to Allah...
seriously!
You must investigate now!
hahahahaha

Obviously the fears that humor would die without the Bushites to mock anymore were mistaken. The birth certificate nutcases will be with us always.
such a respected news purveyor and one that chronicled the first days of the Obama children in the White House with the parting shot that "the White House is now the world's greatest public housing."
However, the more we talk about anything those cretins do, the more they will do it.
Obama redid the oath. He didn't have to, but it was less than satisfactory to him an he wanted to set things right and straight. He could fix it and he did. This is commendable and shows that he wants to get things right.
Double plus for Obama for getting it right even though he didn't have to.
The Birth Certificate is another matter. He evidently cannot set that issue right. If it was produced do you think that if it had a problem we would "unelect" Obama? Hell no. We must accept a document that was printed after he decided to run for President. Any other references to his birthplace or citizenship must remain sealed and secret. You have no problem with that because you are a true believer and cannot be distracted by reason or facts. I have a problem with that because I am a skeptic and require reason and facts.
Therefore, since we are wired entirely differently, communication is impossible. I understand you and your slavish affection for a leader sense you lack self esteem and confidence as programmed by the MSM's many sitcoms, psychobabble shows, crime programs and action programs. A slogan like "Believe" or "Hope" or "Yes We Can" is all that child-adults like you need. It isn't your fault. It's the poor education, the drugs and the cellphones coupled with the poverty of intellectual stimulus and the conditioned response routines of consumerism. You are supposed to buy the shit that is spewed out at you, consume it, love it, and then take another bite. Bet you have an iPod.
You bought the illusion and my posts disturb and frighten you becasue they threaten your illusion. It isn't that I am a threat to your folly, it is that I remind you that it is folly which makes you so angry and upset about someone else's unavailable Birth Certificate.
It doesn't make any difference now but because he has been disingenuous and evasive it will always be a "mark" on his Presidency just like Bush's SCOTUS election in 2000.
When he can fix it, he will and when he cannot fix it, he will not. Simple enough for you?
Tinfoil hats?
They will not protect you from the truth and consequences, or my memes.
let's just make Chris Wallace our new President and move on.
OK, let's say that the oath HAS to be taken, with the words in the EXACT order as in the Constitution. (And it would seem that a president needs to take this oath in order to be "official" since the oath is preceded by: Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:
However, the 20th amendment to the constitution states: If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified;
Assuming that a flubbed oath means Obama was not "qualified", and I don't think the flub was crucial since all the words were in the oath, wouldn't Biden be President until Obama took the oath again?
I really cannot figure out what the Republicans would gain from this in any way, shape or form. I think Chris Wallace was making trouble and it's a shame that Obama had to cave to this type of Stalinist crap, but I'm glad he quickly rectified things and moved on.
As far as that clown Limbaugh spewing about how Roberts had to cue Obama to say "So help me God," uh, that part is totally optional. It's not in the original oath. It is a ridiculous observation on Limbaugh's part, since the entire oath is "cued" as most vows, oaths or affirmations are.
