He did NOT just say that.

in the benediction, in fact.  it was a series of rhymes about the various races.  when yellow . . . when black . . ., & etc.  everything was hopeful until us poor cracker asses got mentioned.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."


Roberts switched up the wording, he put "faithfully" at the end of the sentence.  Roberts said "I do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of President of the United States faithfully...."


payback for voting against his confirmation.  :wink:   "fine, I will screw up your oath of office". 

hell, I am sort of surprised that roberts didn't make him say, "I am a silly nancy boy, and I do whatever michelle tells me to do".

I think Roberts was nervous, it was his first time to get to do it.  :wink:

FNC is tearing his speech apart now.    For a great speaker, I thought it was poor.

I switched to CNN and even foxnews very briefly.  I couldn't stand the multiple obamagasms, and I ran back to C-SPAN.

You know, like "the torch is passed" or somesuch?

something to the effect of, "You are stuck" or "You are ****ed".
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I recognized snippets and shards of other inaugural speeches.  as though he put a dozen or so other inaugural speeches in a blender for a few minutes and used what spilled out.

nothing memorable that I was able to glean.

I wondered; I was given the impression by the 0bamaites and the 0bamaite primitives that this was to be a speech of Ciceroean proportions, for the Ages.

I wonder if the O man was expecting the "Barrack Hussein Obama" or Roberts slipped that in.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

why do I suddenly feel like I do when my neighbors leave town for a while and leave their teenage kids unchaperoned?  really.  it's almost the exact same feeling.

I understand that BHO planned to use his middle name a good while ago;  sort of an "in your face.  I am freaking President now, and there is nothing that you can do about it".

he will probably name sasha and malia's dog "Taliban" now.

That was the warmest exchange I have ever seen between two presidents.   Very nicely done.   I wiped tears from my eyes watching GWB and Laura leave.

God keep us safe.

Okay, I just read the whole text of 0bama's speech--it's on Drudge.

Didn't he, uh, mention God rather much?

Isn't this going to, like, discombobulate the primitives?

Kind of left a sinking feeling, didn't it.
When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing -- then we truly live life.

he varied perspectives so drastically from one sentence to another that it resembled one of those movies with too many flashbacks.
