Post #302,658 by pwhysall 1/20/09 1:11:23 AM Reply	Well, thank fÃ¼ck for that. I was beginning to feel as though Gee Dub was The New American Way. Now, all Obama has to do is not fuck it up. And all we have to do, this side of the water, is not fuck it up, too. If we re-elect Gee Bee again next year, we deserve the arse-raping that will so surely follow. That said, you'd have to be a brave gambler to back Labour next time out.

Post #302,702 by folkert 1/20/09 12:54:06 PM Reply	The Chief justice bobbled it.
Post #302,738 by Ashton 1/20/09 6:28:51 PM Reply	He became Pres. at noon, per Constitution; oath or no oath. Can't recall the Pres who took his: over a Legal Code.. wayback when they recognized separation-of etc. etc.
Post #302,739 by Another Scott 1/20/09 6:34:59 PM Reply	Yup. http://www.law.umkc....ationconstit.html The 20th Amendment moves the date of inauguration from March to "noon on the 20th day of January." Under the Constitution, the old president continues to hold full power through 11:59:59, and then power shifts at noon. Article II, Section 1 requires that the new president, before executing any duties, take a prescribed oath or affirmation. To avoid a constitutional power vacuum, the Inauguration Day program is certain to schedule the swearing in for as close as possible to noon. The Chief Justice of the United States typically administers the oath, although the Constitution does not require that the oath be performed by the Chief Justice Cheers, Scott. (It won't keep the wingnuts from caterwauling about it, though.)

Post #302,697 by malraux 1/20/09 12:29:18 PM Reply	Re: How pleasing. Same here, best coverage. MSNBC had the best streaming of the domestics, but the announcers were frakking idiots. George H. comes tottering out, and one of the idiots says "heh, that's why old people go South for the winter." Moron. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Post #302,731 by a6l6e6x 1/20/09 4:52:16 PM Reply	You must not have been watching Fox. They said there was nothing memorable in it. Who are you going to believe the lefty MSNBC or the no-spin Fox? Unfortunately, my campsite has a great tree blocking a good shot at Tampa/St. Pete, the closest metro area, and the best digital signal is Fox with NBC a poor second. And you know how annoying a broken digital signal is. The BHO speech brought tears to my eyes! Alex
