Want to make a bet this is a right-wing talking point tomorrow?

[redirish28]

Obama didn't say the oath of the office right therefore he isn't the president. He didn't say the right words in the right order etc....:eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

1. They'll Be Lawsuits Filed

If they make it to SCOTUS, I wonder how Roberts will vote?

:shrug:

[jtrockville]

18. Brit Hume thinks Roberts will vote OBAMA for President (LINK)

2. uhh, it was Roberts who was slipping over his tongue

Obama did fine, considering that frigging idiot who was swearing him in flubbed it big time.

[elleng]

3. Doesn't pass the smell test;

Roberts flubbed the lyrics, and O gave him several opportunities to correct.

[Connie_Corleone]

4. They already started but they don't know the Constitution.

He officially becomes President at 12 noon even without the Oath.

7. Stop it!!!!

You're going to confuse them with facts and reality.

That's just mean....................

16. roberts has egg all over his face...or maybe his face is on an egg?

love these good eggs!

[lennytee]

13. Oath or no oath...

Constitution of the United States, Amendment 20, Article 1. The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.

5. When Diana married Chuck,

she flubbed his names, all four of them, and recited them out of order. It should like maybe she married his father.

So, I guess they were never married, either, right?

[mrcheerful]

6. The right wings already got their talking points, number 1 on their hit list?

That 3 day party cost $150 million, yet not a peep from them about the party chimp threw for his rich buddies for 8 years. So no I won't be surprised by anything the right says in the morning.

[trayfoot]

8. Screw the right-wingers - tomorrow and forever!

[Johonny]

9. I imagine they'll focus on the stock market

[BeFree]

10. Well

If that's true, Obama just does it over again. No big deal.

Has anyone got the oath written out? Be nice to see just how it is supposed to be worded, ya know, just in case they have to do it over again tonight.

[Richard D]

12. Here you go

Each president recites the following oath, in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) 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."

[JDPriestly]

11. The exact text from the Constitution:

"Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: 'I do solemnly swear (or affirm) 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.'" Obama did not omit a single word of that affirmation. Therefore, there is no problem. Besides, you can bet your buttons that the Supreme Court with John Roberts as Chief Justice is not going to allow there to be any legal challenge to Obama's presidency because Roberts (first) and Obama put the word "faithfully" at the end of the phrase. So, in case some Freeper pokes around about this, just point out that all the words were said, and besides the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court witnessed the oath and did not question Obama's presidency.

This is, of course, such a silly issue, and I would not post on this, but I hear someone on Fox News raise the very question you raise.

14. I got a GOP fundraising letter

in my email tonite. For some reason I am on their mailing list.
This seems to be what their game plan is.
Dear Friend:
NRCC
Today is an historic day. The inauguration of a new President has become one of our most recognizable national ceremonies - a moment that binds the American republic together in observance of the peaceful transition of power from one Administration to the next.

This inauguration also marks a new beginning for the Republican Party.

I think most Americans are ready for solutions that work -- not taxpayer-funded bailouts and pork-barrel spending.

President Barack Obama's election symbolizes that hunger for change, and I look forward to working with him when he extends his hand across the aisle.

But there's no escaping the fact that more voters agree with you and me - not Democrats - on key issues like how we get our economy moving again.

For example, we believe the best way to help our economy would be to tax less and spend less. As I told reporters last week, we can't borrow and spend our way back to prosperity.

"On the other hand, Congressional Democrats want more than half-a-trillion dollars in new government spending and one top Democrat thinks that might not be enough." Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) even told reporters she'd like to raise taxes "as soon as possible."

That's why when President-elect Obama asked for Republican input on economic recovery legislation, we quickly put together a working group tasked with crafting constructive policy solutions.

Republicans will need to work with President Obama on areas where we have common ground, such as on the need for tax relief to help create new jobs. Americans expect it.

And it's why we will stand and defend our shared principles against an emboldened Liberal Democrat Majority in Congress. Americans deserve it.

We'll promote freedom, security, and a smaller, more accountable government. And we'll protect secret ballots for workers, keep talk radio free from government regulation, and unlock more American energy to reduce our dependence on foreign dictators.

But I need your help, Friend. Your support for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has been critical in the past and I ask that you consider continuing our relationship in order to help us succeed in the future.

Sincerely,
John Boehner

Same ole stuff.

15. It was a RW talking point soon after the oath was taken. Silly people.

:rofl:

17. Already is

Check out the comments, they're hilarious.

[Telly Savalas]

19. Just ignore the 5% of the population who want to indulge in such foolishness

In 2003 those folks played a major role in setting the tone of the national dialogue. Now they're almost entirely irrelevant. I'd like to think this discussion forum could focus on the changes which need to happen in this country rather than obsess over the idiotic rants of marginalized attention-whores like Limbaugh and Coulter.

[madville]

20. Lowery will be their talking point for a long time

Rush, Hannity, and Glenn Beck will be playing Joseph Lowery's words over and over thousands of times.
