I'm sure everyone has watched yesterday's Inauguration ceremonies celebrating Barack Obama's ascendency into the Presidency. Notice the key words in that sentence: ceremonies and celebrating. Because that's all yesterday was, a formalized ceremony that is not at all required, but the people like to celebrate these achievements, so we hold these massive to-do's so we the people can enjoy the regime change.Since we've all watched the ceremony, we've all seen Obama's slightly flubbed Oath of Office. And if we've seen it, then the crazy idiot right-wingers have as well. And if they've seen, then they must be screaming that it must mean that Obama isn't really our President yet, which is exactly what I said they'd do the moment I saw it happen.
To be sure, the twits are running around on national TV screaming about how the Oath is in the Constitution, so it must mean that Obama can't become President until he says it exactly the way it's written. Well, that's a quaint notion. If we were going to follow that path of following the Constitution to the exact word of it, me thinks their dear former-President Bush would be hanging in some gallows by now.
What they don't realize is the Oath is truly a formality. It's not a necessity. Obama became President yesterday at noon Eastern. Period. Regardless of an Oath or ceremony or miracle from god, he became President. There's no avoiding that.
Good luck with your lawsuits and whatnot. Please make sure you go on TV as much as possible to complain about it as well because we all need to see your faces and know who to point and laugh at while in public.
