I was watching this live, and was thinking what a terrific introduction he was giving for the pledge. And then he cheapened it unbelievably by ending with "it drives the liberals crazy." No one will now remember the introduction, but instead the cheap-shot joke (and the ironic botching of the pledge). I may not be a liberal, but I don't assume that they are necessarily opposed to mentioning God in the pledge of allegiance.

I'm ashamed that this guy represents my district.

Besides, it is the omen that it represents. There was so much talk about him swearing on Lincoln's Bible, and it got flubbed so bad they had to do it over; in which the Bible was not used. Of course, neanderthals like to say it doesn't matter, because the Bible is nothing at all, but if that is the case why swear him in at all? What is Obama's word worth? In any case, I want to see his hand on the Bible so he can't escape God when he betrays the country, which he is now doing.

I saw different.

Why are liberals voting thumbs down on this? Let them do it. They will see what a small, pathetic minority they truly are.

Obama never made any mistake when getting sworn in. It was a conservative supreme court justice who, despite being a strict constructionist, cannot even bring himself to remember an important part of the constitution, the peaceful transfer of power.

Is it just a coincidence that he forgot "indivisible?"

[Thisisnotmyrealname8]

I can't talk to you, because you're too smart for me.

[powwowlls]

The GOP/Conservative/Tea Partiers are fucking retarded. They claim America supports them. If that is true why were they voted out of office? They exaggerate the number of people at the rallies . Let the cameras pan out and stop the tight shots, you will really see who there. A small number of white people talking crazy and sounding real racist. No minorites there. I see no Blacks, Latinos or Asians. How can they claim to be Christian when they do not care for the least of American people?

According to Todd Akin, freedom means freedom from knowing anything at all. Absolutely pathetic. I guess he must hate America if he doesn't know the Pledge of Allegiance.
