Oh Puhlease!!!
I hope Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States. Because if he's not it means Joe Biden is, and I'm not sure anyone wants that.
Can we get a consensus on whether or not he took an official oath yet?
No one was sure, consitutional scholars and the White House itself after Supreme court Justice John Robers and President Obama stumbled through it on Tuesday, so on Wednesday they did another take. As it turns out, no one brought a Bible, so the oath was administered without it.
I'm not sure if there's going to be an uproar about this or not, or whether they'll do a third take, but I am sure about one thing and that's Barack Obama is the President.
As far as the oaths are concerned, as the old saying goes, "Close enough for government work."
