PRESIDENT OBAMA SHALL, at high noon today, take the oath of office to begin his second term, in accordance with the united states consitution, whch mandates january twenty at high noon as the magic moment, but doesn't say anything about which time zone, or if the day of the week matters.
Who is administering the oath? Chief Justice Roberts? Oh my, get your cue cards ready. Will the honorable chief justice forget the words again, like last time? Remember how embarassing that was, and how obama had to actually coax him through it , like talking a cat down from a tree?The president had it memorized, the chief justice didn't - big mistake......
pride goeth before a fall. the chief justice of the united states supreme court was just too proud to read a short statement from a cue card, and it cost 'im...
After the re - swearing in today, that should, by all measurments of sanity and common sense, be the end of it. But no, hell no, not in america, the fun house, the land of hype and hoopla. For you see, to compete against the NFL Copnference Championship games for audience attention on a sunday is unacceptable, hype - wise.
We shall have a three day weekend, and swear in the president yet again, on nothing less than martin luther king day. And, if you were obama, I'm sure you would do exactly the same publicity oriented thing, because, if it were you, you'd be a politician, with a politician's mindset.
Will justice roberts be back monday? will it be on the steps of the capitol, and will it be followed by a first family walk down pennsylvania, and about eleven very expensive, elite, and exquisite formal balls?
Must be, becasue all we keep hearing is that this will be the most expensive inauguration party in history; so much for obama's pledge of greater ceremonial simplicity, or did he ever even make such a pledge...
oh how we love our three day weekends! let's move christmas to "the last monday in december", and the fourth of july to the first monday in july!
if memory serves, four years ago, the chief justice and president met again the day after inauguration day, in the quiet and privacy of the white house, and did the oath over again - just to make sure that they got it right.
This means that as of high noon, monday, obama will be sworn into office for, count 'em, the fourth time, and that's gotta be a record. Give the guy credit. Don't forget, like all politicians, our president loves face time. You never know, he might not be through swearing himself in even after monday...
Might the president make this a regular thing?Just in case, better break out the really big popcorn poppers...
