The Illegitimate President (again)

It's quite obvious the the best part of him dribbling down his mother's thighs, ending up as a yellowish stain on the sheets.

On Fox News, Chris Wallace just speculated that President Obama might still legally be regular ol' Barack Obama, because his botched oath doesn't count.

Wallace was referring to the one slip in today's otherwise flawless ceremonies, which came at the most important moment: Chief Justice John Roberts said and President Obama repeated back to him: "I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of President of the United States faithfully." The oath's actual line (which is in the Constitution) goes, "I [Barack Hussein Obama] do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States."

Wallace predicted this will go to the courts. Though, presumably, if it makes it to the Supreme Court, John Roberts will rule that he administered a legitimate oath. (Besides, the mistake was Roberts' fault anyway, not that any of this is actually the least bit significant.)

So in wingnuttia, he's a President who didn't swear to uphold the Constitution, and is now free to convert it into the Koran. Allah Ahkbar!
Burka time, ladies!

Wallace is an idiot, but Roberts no doubt made more work for himself and his colleagues turning down all manner of petitions from lower court dismissals of the nutty cases that the wingnuts will bring all because of a botched oath. Oh well it is good for the lawyers--economic stimulus you know.

So, do it again until you get it right, you stupid Supreme fuck up! Now we know why Obama voted against your confirmation. Because you're a dork.

Of course, even the fucking AssPress admitted that the mistake was entirely the fault of Chief Justice Roberts. President Obama was actually being gracious and giving to his Chief Justice, and smiled through the whole affair.

Fuck the Wingnuts.

Next time Chief Justice Roberts won't rely on his famously perfect memory and will bring crib cards when he administers the oath to President Obama again in 4 years.

I read in the paper this morning that even some constitutional scholars are saying Obama ought to retake the oath just to prevent the scenario suggested by 1st Anonymous.

Nice work, Roberts. You have one very short job to do that will ever appear on TV, and you blow it. Typical.

I see now that Obama has retaken the oath, verbatim this time. But some moron probably will sue anyway.
