For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

From what I saw, Roberts flubbed first and that's what threw Obama off a bit as well. Understandable —he is the youngest Chief Justice ever and this was a sigular moment in history beyond it's moment as the inauguration of a new president.CaptainChewbacca wrote:Regarding the flub: Was it that Obama messed up, or did Roberts say the wrong words and Obama was waiting for him to say the RIGHT words?

Re: President Obama's Inaugural Address
It doesn't matter anyways. The Oath of Office is a formality, Constitutionally Bush ceased to be President at Noon today and Obama acceded.Perhaps I am wrong, but might that not be a good thing for Obama? If they're going all til foil hat over such a minor slip up as this, wouldn't it detract from legitimate criticisms that they have, such as the birth certificate debacle?

Re: President Obama's Inaugural Address
Was anyone watching the CNN feed where Obama said something along the lines of "we must uphold the constitution and not betray it for the sake of expediency" or something along those lines,

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Re: President Obama's Inaugural Address
Since Obama did not accurately repeat the Oath of Office, he is not our president. This makes McCain (Not Commie Joe) our new leader. This is similar to the principle that if I am flying a Texan flag, I am not governed by the United States.Coyote wrote: HE HAD TO THINK ABOUT THE WORDS IN ARABIC!!!11!!ONEONE
