Obama's inauguration in 12 hours

[phyzmatix]

Inauguration -so good they did it twice.
Apparently Chief Justice Roberts didn't say 'simon says' so they had to do it again -

Rather safe than sorry huh?

What did he have to do? Repeat after me? Then read a card? That was his entire part for the day? And he blew it?

Amazingly Obama was Mr. Cool. He knew the guy just choked up a hair ball and waited for him to correct his flub. Given the number of things that Obama managed flawlessly and with humor and aplomb throughout the entire long ritual day, Roberts came off as an unprepared twit. And nominally he's supposed to be our Chief Justice? Oy. Another Bush screw up to remind the Nation of his Presidency for decades to come. And all to assuage his NeoCon ideologue buddies? Double Oy.

Joe's joke about Roberts didn't seem to go off well with Obama today.

I think Obama is not one to tear down others. I think his preference is to work cooperatively. I think Joe is however not yet cured of his partisan fever.

That's the way that I read it as well.

Joe's probably going to spend a good bit of time in the woodshed over the next eight years.

I don't think so. Obama is a generous spirit. And I rather suspect that the grace he would show his opponents he would also in good measure extend to his friends.

Sure, perhaps I didn't say that the right way. Biden has always had a problem self-censoring. Unless they keep him tucked away, there will certainly be many more Biden moments.

I really like Biden. He has always struck me as someone that I would like to meet and have a talk with over coffee.

Joe, Joe, Joe.

Just remember that, perhaps, your most famous quote could be, "Yes."

Or, alternatively, you could accumulate even more famous quotes than Dan Quayle.

Ah, heck, when I think about it, I'd hate to see Joe Biden be disciplined on the world stage and restrain his legendary loquaciousness. I say: Go for it! Dan Quayle is history.

Or perhaps he knew exactly what he was doing ...

Except Roberts would have to recuse himself from the case. It would be up to the other 8 Supreme Court Justices.
