Who Stumbled on Presidential Oath: Obama or Roberts?Posted by Flap in Barack Obama, John RobertsVisit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Barack Obama takes the Presidential oath of office as administered by Chief Justice John Roberts
Flap was mentioning to the wife that he would not be surprised if Barack Obama stumbled on his oath of office after Joe Biden stumbled on his. And, there you go. But, having taken the oath a number of times myself, I can tell you the nerves and adrenaline are racing hard through your body and a diligent staff usually have a cheat sheet posted somewhere to help the office holder. But, alas, this is hard to do here. However, note there was a different spin on who flubbed the moment.
But, really who cares? Technorati Tags: Barack Obama, John Roberts Tags: Barack Obama, John Roberts

Senator John Cornyn Blocks Easy Confirmation of Hillary Clinton As Secretary of StatePosted by Flap in Hillary Clinton, John Cornyn
Former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State nominee Hillary Clinton arrive at the inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009 Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) has blocked Hillary Clinton’s confirmation as Secretary of State and word is she is NOT too happy about it.
Well, this gives a few Republicans an opportunity to vote against her and gives New York Governor David Paterson an additional day to name a replacement Senator. Not a good day for Hillary. Technorati Tags: Hillary Clinton, John Cornyn Tags: Hillary Clinton, John Cornyn
