On the Inauguration, I wrote:
I can’t wait for the Wingnuts to parse the stumbling over Obama’s oath of office (both Obama and Roberts) to somehow prove he never took the oath and therefore is not president.
Apparently, after the initial laughter over the prospect, some people decided it was better to be safe than sorry, so Roberts re-administered the oath to Obama yesterday, without any bobbles (or a Bible).
Interestingly enough, the same thing (retaking the oath) was done by both Calvin Coolidge and Chester Arthur in their day.
I’m sure that won’t quiet the conspiracy nuts, but …

So he’s taken the oath twice? That must mean that he can’t stand for re-election, because then he would have to take it THREE TIMES, which they stopped after it was decided to limit democracy after Roosevelt.
It doesn’t matter. Everyone knows Christian oaths sworn on a Bible don’t count for crypto-Muslims … 😛
He didn’t even use a bible. Baby-Killer.
