They're all black guys.

It can't be the extra capital letter in their names, because only WIlson has that...

For the first oath, Obama royally screwed it up.

For the second oath, he didn't have his hand on a Bible.

Is this guy TRYING to make an ass of himself? cause he's doing a pretty good job.

They all palled around with terrorists

They're all presidents duh idiot.

What is people who've never been in my kitchen, Alex?

You farked it up, subby.

The guys you listed redid their oaths publicly because January 20th fell on a Sunday when they were inaugurated. If you can reach your mind all the way back to last Tuesday, that did not happen this year.

Hayes had ties to Ayers also? Hmmm, the more you know

Their wives were all biatches?

Find something new (and more important) to be wrong about.

Isaac Hayes, Flip Wilson and Barack Obama are all black guys. I don't know about the other ones.

dude, smoke a little more dope

ZOMG OBAMA'S NOT PRESIDENT!!!

Oh wait... he doesn't even have to take the oath to be president.

/Firefox spell-check thinks Obama is a misspelling.

Were their Chief J-0-SCOTUS also retadded while presuming to be the smattest guy in the Room?

Not that this will stop the republicans screaming for the WAAAAHMBULANCE, a bible is not required for the oath.
And Roberts f'ed up the first one.

HAHA, YOUR TEAM LOST! LOL 111ONE11!

Well for the first oath it was Roberts who screwed it up
For the second, tell me dear sir where in the constitution does it say you need a bible. There are some theories that Jefferson never used the bible

FTFY

Did they all have hot moms?

/seriously, momma 'bama was cute.

How fitting that it took all of four seconds for a Bush appointee to screw up a soundbite that will be replayed countless times to schoolchildren every February.

I'm not sure, but I know that Nixon, Carter, Grant and Washington all played for the Lakers.

Lurking Fear: HAHA, YOUR TEAM LOST! LOL 111ONE11!

I think Obama should retake the oath every day, just to remind them of this fact. [And, it doesn't hurt to remind him of the whole "preserve, protect, and defending" the constitution bit.]

Hey Go-Dam H Roberts fuq'ed it up exactly three times in what, 30-40 words. What was Obama supposed to do , having been instructed to repeat after the Chief Retard? O-man remain very cool,gracious and good spirited in the face of Roberts incoherent chaos, and actually carried out his part of the oath with the kind of calm I want to see in a POTUS. Bush would have had one of his Blank moments, before CONtinuing to screw it up further...before swearing his head off , and sayin somethin like Fuq'it, don'matter, fuq the CONstitution anyway, Ah own it now

Me?

I'm just relieved to find out that Reagan was never president of the United States.

You farkers laughed when I told you plans were in the works to undo your Messiah's "victory" in November.

Now Judge Roberts is laughing at you. As is the clerk who made sure the Lincoln Boble wouldn't be available for the second "swearing".

Now watch your Messiah's selection be undone.

In what regard, Charlie?

Vowels.

I personally would be shocked if evidence was introduced to confirm that Jefferson swore any oath on a Bible. Read his papers, that man was no Christian.

The first oath Barry stepped over Roberts right at the beginning. Probably what threw Roberts off his timing.

FIFY

If the Freepers and Fark Independents are so sure the oath was somehow screwed up, and Obama's presidency therefore invaild - what remedy are they proposing? How much longer am I to keep hearing about this?

What is it you morans need so that you can get on with being ruled by the black guy?

Gumercules: e first oath Barry stepped over Roberts right at the beginning. Probably what threw Roberts off his timing.

If you look at older oaths there is a pause at the place that obama started talking it was Roberts that messed up then got confused with the order of the words.

Nope. You check.

It goes...
"I (state-your-name-here) do solemnly swear.."

Barry jumped the gun. It's ok. It does not make his Presidency invalid. They mulliganed it anyway just in case.

He doesn't need to take the oath to BE president, but he does need to take it to discharge his duties as such.

Calvin Coolidge's repetition of the oath followed a similar course. He took it for the first time at 2:47 a.m. on Aug. 3, 1923, while visiting his native Vermont, after being roused from sleep following the death of Warren Harding. Coolidge had a Bible on a nearby table while taking the oath but did not lay his hand on it, "as it is not the practice in Vermont or Massachusetts to use a Bible in connection with the administration of an oath," he said.

Interesting. I think I like this approach better, actually. Better not to drag God into a poitical act. He certainly has troubles enough.

There's some without the first pause, but Bush's both have it iirc and at least a few others. Roberts's real mistake was the 1/2 pause though, just long enough to make Obama think he should start and then he kept going. He needed to power through that part if he was going to continue.

And here comes the racism charge, just like clockwork.

It's telling that you think America will be "ruled by a black guy". When Bush was president, if someone suggested Bush "ruled" you, you'd be screaming about fascism. But of course you have no problem at all being ruled by a black socialist. You want everyone to just lie down and accept it.

I don't know which is more shocking, the obvious hypocracy, or your obliviousness to it.

Clinton, Bush Sr. etc et c all had the pause after "Solemnly swear."

Agreed though. The Big O probably thought Roberts was screwing the pooch and assumed he should go.

You think they would have rehearsed this kind of stuff.

They're all left handed?

Believe me.

Who do you think will hear the matter when it reaches the Supreme Court?

I hope Hannity, Rush, Coulter, etc. run with this as long as as loud as possible. It just makes them look more and more ridiculous to more and more people.

Please show me an instance where an oath is given in any other cadence than: "I (state your name)" speaker pauses and oath taker repeats

You know that cliched scene that's in a bunch of movies where the people taking the oath say "I state your name"? That's the cadence.

goddamhippie: For the second oath, he didn't have his hand on a Bible.

Is that a requirement?

It only dilutes your point slightly, but at least some of the old oaths are the cadence you seem to be saying doesn't exist. There's a youtube video going around of all of the recorded ones strung together, you can probably find it pretty easily.

Don't get me wrong, this whole thing is still farking retarded...just fyi.

Man, after I post all that above you have to go and prove me wrong. I looked up the Clinton video and you are right, the pause is after the "swear."

beyond green: I don't know which is more shocking, the obvious hypocracy, or your obliviousness to it.

Believe me, everyone else's motivations are as debased and as unethical as yours would be if you were in their shoes.

I mean, why wait for evidence of this? Just go right ahead and project your own motivations onto them.
