FogBat Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Given the problems facing our nation, let me be the first to say "WHO GIVES A F-CK". While I wouldn't have given such a terse reaction, I agree with the sentiment. That's a tremendous weight of responsibility that the man was taking upon his shoulders (the office, not the oath). Here's what someone had to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm just glad that we finally have a president that doesn't say nuculer. I most definitely concur. That was as bad as hearing fingernails on a chalkboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Damn, and here I had Crosschecking in the "first to post a negative thread about the Inauguration" pool. :nana: How much money did you lose? :D Oh, don't worry. Tomorrow's Complaint Thursday. I have a dandy lined up, and you won't believe who's on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Wall Street is a joke..........I think the brutal decline in the Asian markets had more to with this then anything else. Bitter Republicans are looking for anything to bitch about right now. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shack & duff Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Man with strong Buffalo roots makes good by becoming Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court and then he goofs up on the oath. Only about a billion people watching, too. He was afflicted with the curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tremendous weight of responsibility that the man was taking upon his shoulders (the office, not the oath). Here's what someone had to say about it. No offense (and I hope that isn't you in the clip) but I hate these frigging video blogs posted on YouTube. Hey, look - it's Joe Blow from nowhere with no credentials/expertise at all - why the :censored: should I give a flying rat's ass what he thinks about the election, inauguration, the P*ts losing Brady, none of it. "Hey, look at me, I have a webcam - I should record myself talking out my ass andpost it for the whole world to see! Then I'll have friends!" Morons. :nana: How much money did you lose? :D Oh, don't worry. Tomorrow's Complaint Thursday. I have a dandy lined up, and you won't believe who's on my list. I'm looking forward to it. I had one of those days today, where I was toeing the line of blowing up and going off on the next idiot that screwed something up and made more work for me (or hell, even cut me off in traffic).

deluca67 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Of course Roberts screwed up the oath. He was to busy shredding all the memos from GW Administration giving instructions on how to dismantle the Constitution and destroying the rights of individuals. Who has time for a petty oath.

FogBat Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I am not making this up. I heard a joke by a fellow Army Reservist (at that time) who said that in a few years, we will have to raise our right had for the servicemembers' oath and then raise the left hand to take the UN oath. Get the picture? BTW, I did not come up with this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the oath they are taking is to the American people they should be placing their hand on a telephone book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I get it. I'm just glad that we finally have a president that doesn't say nuculer. Take it for what it is worth and by no means am I a fudge packin' Republican fan-boy... :D But the ad hoc spelling has been used by other presidents dating over 50 years now... Again, take it for what it is worth... From Wiki: U.S. presidents that have used this pronunciation include Bill Clinton, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter (who trained to be engineering officer on a nuclear submarine), and George W. Bush, as well as presidential candidate Walter Mondale and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. :nana: :nana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Obama & Roberts got together and redid the oath yesterday. Hopefully that makes people happy. Also as some media have reported - the oath is really symbolic now since we have the 20th amendment. Section 1. The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.

Cool. For the last eight years, I've wondered if we even had a Constitution anymore. Glad to see that we've dusted it off and that it's back in action.

Yesterday, Obama didn't have his hand on the Bible. Time for another try at the oath! (Sarcasm) It is disappointing they forgot to use the Bible, though.

stenbaro Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I cant wait to see the reaction from some American mom after Obama releases a few of these terrorists and he has to explain why her son or daughter or husband was killed by the hands of a freed terrorist..Of all the things he should be worried about and try to correct this is the least of them all..

Gitmo was used as a recruiting tool for terrorist groups worldwide, esp in the middle east. Some iraqis, even join groups to fight americans only bc of Gitmo, (brother was marine in fallujah). Nothing about Gitmo was good or embodied AMerican ideals. And for that matter some of these guys have no proof that they ever did anything wrong or were trying to.

(Sarcasm)It is disappointing they forgot to use the Bible, though. This was the version of the oath for non-believers. They did a version on the Koran but they made sure there were no cameras for that one. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that some of the detainees in Gitmo are legitimate threats. Just like I'm sure that some of the Japanese detainees where threats during WWII. That's not an excuse to violate the ideals this country is built upon. Each detainee has the right of due process. Arrest them and give them their trial. You can't hold someone forever under suspicion that may intend to commit a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
