What do you think of the performances?
Are you proud Barack Obama is our President? What do you think of the people who say he isn't president because of the oath slip up.

WASHINGTON — After the flub heard around the world, President Barack Obama has taken the oath of office. Again.

Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the oath to Obama on Wednesday night at the White House — a rare do-over. The surprise moment came in response to Tuesday's much-noticed stumble, when Roberts got the words of the oath a little off, which prompted Obama to do so, too.

Don't worry, the White House says: Obama has still been president since noon on Inauguration Day.

Nevertheless, Obama and Roberts went through the drill again out of what White House counsel Greg Craig called "an abundance of caution."

This time, the scene was the White House Map Room in front of a small group of reporters, not the Capitol platform before the whole watching world.

"We decided that because it was so much fun ...," Obama joked to reporters who followed press secretary Robert Gibbs into the room. No TV camera crews or news photographers were allowed in. A few of Obama's closest aides were there, along with a White House photographer.

Roberts put on his black robe.

"Are you ready to take the oath?" he said.

"Yes, I am," Obama said. "And we're going to do it very slowly."

Roberts then led Obama through the oath without any missteps.

The president said he did not have his Bible with him, but that the oath was binding anyway.

  • you do not need obama to be a proud blackman !! you are keeping yourself down !!!! yes i said it HE doesnot give a crap about you he gives a crap about the dollar he is failing you and everyone else PEACE OUT TO YOU

  • @passionkiss91 Obama did NOT get us out of Iraq. The Iraqi withdrawal was negotiated by the Bush administration, Obama tried his best to keep troops in Iraq but it didn't work out and the agreement signed under Bush forced US troops out. Also, Obama escalated the war in Afghanistan by sending thousands of additional troops there. Dont forget, Obama also escalated the US drone bombings which on average kill 50 innocent civilians for every 1 bad guy killed. So yes, Obama is a fucking war criminal

  • Obama is half white, and his black side of the family were never slaves in America. Sorry bro, but Obama does not represent you.
