Oath Do-Over

Well, since they screwed it up the first time, Obama and Roberts had to re-administer the presidential oath of office at the White House. Roberts took the blame for the flub and he and the President did it all over again, without the press present, save for a handful to record the moment.
But it's over and done with. Not that any of it matters, as according to the Constitution, Obama became president at the stroke of noon, regardless.

However the most interesting part of the day was when Vice-President, Joe Biden made a joke about an hour after Obama was sworn in that, I think, wasn't taken to well by the President.



"My memory is not as good as Justice Robert's," said Biden.
Did you notice how the President reached out with his right hand to lightly clasp Biden on the back, as if to say, "Hey c'mon, knock it off. Let it go." I swear I saw him shake his head just a touch, in disbelief.

I feel a little "sensationalized" because this really is a non-issue.
