Well, he licked the toilet seat while campaigning. (Dancing with Ellen)

It wouldn't surprise me at ALL if John Roberts did it on purpose to ruin the moment. It's not at all a surprise that Roberts doesn't like Obama, and that Obama was one of the people who opposed Roberts getting that position.

Gee - someone didn't want me to have my top-notch job.... now I get to swear him in as President in front of billions of people... what SHALL I do???

you know listening to all these attacks on the president (who has been president for 1 day) are much like listening to old southern folk tales about how the north tricked them and they they were never whooped at all in the civil war.

Like I said in another thread -

Now that Sherman's dead we have a chance of winning.

He cheated. Things are different now.

After all, it is more then just a ceremony, it is a declaration of the official Presidential duties. Years ago when I was sworn in as a LE officer, every single specific word had to be stated correctly.
Well it appears that Roberts was the one who screwed up first. So, Obama who is also a LAWYER, wouldn't have allowed that to happen.

Kind of like when you play heavy metal records backwards and satanic verses and evil messages spew forth....

I'm sure the people who challenged Obama's citizenship will now jump on this cause. Nothing like a sore loser.
There is still a lawsuit on his citizenship due to be heard on Fri, I think.

And the FOX I heard didn't say what you think they said.

Then you weren't listening very well. Or reading this thread very well, either.
