If these inbred nitwits would read the Constitution, it says that the President's term begins on January 20th.  That is today.  If they waited until tomorrow to swear him in, we would technically not have a President for 24 hours.  So, they have the official swearing-in today to meet Constitutional requirements, and tomorrow is the ceremonial swearing-in at the Capitol and the address, and all the pomp and circumstance.

Also, Chief Justice Roberts better not fark up the oath this time like he did four years ago.  It's not that lengthy a spiel to memorize, sir.

Submitter, forget the conspiracy, I know for a FACT you suck at punctuation.

Obama should have sworn in with his left hand on the Constitution instead of the Bible.

PC LOAD LETTER: That's what they WANT you to think!



Soon to reveal STARTLING NEW EVIDENCE!

NewportBarGuy: Does this mean Donald Trump is automatically President and Nancy Pelosi is relegated to Walmart Greeter?

Not to mention that there ceremony was THREE MINUTES EARLY according to my watch. Why does Obama hate the 20th Amendment?

Coco LaFemme: Also, Chief Justice Roberts better not fark up the oath this time like he did four years ago. It's not that lengthy a spiel to memorize, sir.

They covered this on NPR the other day. He memorized the whole thing and all the planned pauses, the problem was that nobody ever got the plan from Roberts to Obama's team so Obama was unaware of the specific points where Roberts planned to stop for a response. Obama wound up responding earlier than Roberts expected which caused him to flub the next line. Obama knew the line was wrong so he paused in confusion which just messed things up even worse.

They also pointed out that it's been messed up far worse by others in the past.

What secret ceremony? It was just on C-SPAN live 15 minutes ago. Simple- it was all repeat after me and congratulations Mr. President. Done. Headline fail. Not sure why party day is tomorrow for all this, but whatever.

From the Depths of Hell itself I offer the warmest of congratulations to

B-ROCK 'THE ISLAMIC SHOCK' HUSSATAN SUPERALLAH OBAMA AL-CHICAGO!

Deep dish pizza for everyone!

God, if anyone from the year 3000 does a GIS for Obama Constitution while doing research...we're screwed.

Lumpmoose: From the headline I assumed it's to avoid Roberts farking it up again but meeting an inauguration date requirement set in the Constitution is even more innocuous.

You don't actually expect the "strict constitutionalists" in the derp brigade to actually know what the constitution says do you?

Seriously; I have never seen people who scream so much about the U.S. Constitution being violated, yet seem to have no idea how the government actually functions as described in the U.S. Constituion. Then they build elaborate yet realistically impossible conspiracy theories around that ignorance of the U.S. Constuitution, living in fear of their government for no reason.

How dare they have a dignified, low key ceremony in these troubled economic times? Don't they realize that they're literally taking food out of the mouths of fox news contributors who would otherwise be on TV decrying all the taxpayer money being spent on security to protect Obongo from fox news' more rabid viewers?

Watched the swearing-in on CBS. Short, sweet, and to the point. And classy in its simplicity. And Malia saying "Good job Daddy!" was utterly adorbs.

Coco LaFemme: If they waited until tomorrow to swear him in, we would technically not have a President for 24 hours.

I think he's president oath or no oath, as strictly speaking he hasn't been released from his 2009 oath. You're probably right about the reason they do this, though, I guess. Looks cleaner on paper.

0bama's secret inauguration was held on Mars so his parents could see it.

You've read the Constitution, right?  The President's term begins at noon on January 20th.  Inaugurations are not held on Sundays, so he was officially sworn in today and will be ceremonially sworn in again tomorrow, where he'll also give his inaugural address.  That's just how we do things.  It's not a big secret.

Forty-Two: We watched the ceremony on CSPAN; it wasn't a secret. However, a few minutes before the oath, the camera lingered on Orly Taitz, standing outside holding a hand-lettered cardboard sign. Seriously.

They should have let her in.  I mean, the girls at least could have gotten some humor out of it.

Oh, what it would be like to be a fly on the wall of Mitt Romney's home right now.

when does he swear on the Koran my right wing friends tell me he's gonna.

oh and the communist manifesto and mein kompf and maos little red book....and

wow, he's gonna be busy

That actually happened once, but I don't recall the specifics.

Today he's being sworn in for his 2nd term.

Tomorrow he's being sworn in - beginning his 3RD term.

Tell your derper relatives.

I wonder what Geoff thinks about all of this.
