Oh, well this could be a picture of ANYTHING. Obama is still not president, everyone. You can’t have your official witness of a second oath be a painting of television’s Patrick Duffy. (He frequently lies.) [NYT/White House]

I see Roberts’ bald spot.
What about the photographer, Pete Souza? He’s a witness!
where’s the BIBLE – er – koran?
hee didint git it rite on teh 20eth soo hee aint presdint.
The joke’s on Roberts; Barry had his fingers crossed. Beeaaatch!
Not even if the guy in the black robe is obviously Larry Hagman?
What no American Bible or a Muslin Koran?!!!!111?
Where’s the Bible, people?
He can’t be president because there was NO BIBLE.
I heard it on FOX.
That’s Patrick Duffy? So, does that mean that Barry wakes up a year from now and realizes that the past year has all been a dream?
“Now repeat after me, ‘I am a dick-weed chief justice’”.
Ooopsy Daisy! Forgot the hand on the Bible business. Take three?
Everybody sing: “Five dollar, five dollar foot-longs!”
They’re not doing the oath. They’re greeting each other in Long Ranger fashion.
“How Kimosabi”
[re=225760]skroocap[/re]: [re=225767]CrunchyKnee[/re]: I’m too slow. Sad.
[re=225773]lenorecutie[/re]:Um… Lone Ranger
John Roberts has giant hands.
i have that same picture on my drivers license!!
The correct caption is:
“Most awkward high-five ever”
FOUR YEARS of President Obama. Wow. It’s still sinking in. It feels great.
How does Barry look 50 in some pictures and 25 in others? Is it dependant on mood or something? Does he spontaneously age two decades before everyone’s eyes when he’s sad?
You know Roberts is just dying for Obama to lean in and kiss him.
Just a high five. “We sure fooled them yesterday. Wait till they find out Biden in the real Prez.”
We haz an atheirst preznit! No Bayble!
No way. Patrick Duffy has way better hair than that.
Actually, I think they’re laughing about how they went to Albany together last year and asked Paterson to high-five them.
There’s something papal and therefore creepy about this photo.
i think they’re really just checking on who would be a better finger donor for former French President Jacques Chirac in case his dog bites off one of his digits. unfortunately their fingers are not long enough.
The old Harpo and Lucy routine.
Roberts was allowed to use a telepromter this time. In the photo, he’s reading the weather.
[re=225792]trondant[/re]: Sadly, Simon Cowell did NOT give Patterson a golden ticket to Hollywood.
Barry’s giving the CJ a terrorist hand slap.
I can’t believe we have a POTUS not sworn in using a Middle Eastern book that advocates monarchy, slavery, and stoning unwed mothers to death without trial. What has America come to?
variation on Airplane II…
Justice Roberts: Do you swear on the Constitution of the United States blah blah blah, so help you God?
Obama: Ain’t no thing.
[he slaps the Roberts' non-existent Bible and Roberts uses his non-existent Bible to slap Obama's hand]
It’s really the secret Skull & Bones handshake now that Barry is allowed into the club.
It’s the 21st century. Surely we can get electric lights installed in the White House and replace those candles.
It’s the “live long and prosper” version for the uncoordinated.
And Roberts, also.
“You know, John, they say if your hand is bigger than your face it means you’re deformed…”
Did a mason witness it? It’s no good unless a mason was present.
[re=225812]fillintheblank[/re]:
The testimony was comedy gold.
[re=225815]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: Change freak!
…why am I imagining Barry saying “What did the 5 fingers say to the face?!”
[re=225823]Cape Clod[/re]: They deported the mason. The dishwasher too.
After completing the oath Barry said “Now get outta here and quit wasting my time. And the next time we do this I want you in here the day before for a rehearsal! Rahm?”
Rahm: “Consider it done Mr. President.”
He is afraid of Barry. As is Barry Lyndon, in the background there.
[re=225823]Cape Clod[/re]: i think the mason is working for turbo tax tim now. i guess he heard the job pays $34,000.
And Patrick Duffy? I’m thinking more a young David Morse:

Fivetree: How about the past eight years?
Quick, run this by Chris Wallace over at Faux news to see if I’m the President yet.
I can’t believe that no one has blingee’d that picture yet. You people are slacking.
[re=225767]CrunchyKnee[/re]: When the oath was over Obama took his left hand out of his pocket, which had been holding a small skin-bound copy of Alistair Crowley’s ‘Tome of the Daemon.’ It had all been a brilliant ruse!
Why does Roberts dress up in his black robe? Especially since it is a semi-formal swearing in with the host in a business suit. Does he wear it all the time?
[re=225841]NYNYNY[/re]: Baby skin?
“Now that the oath is done, Mr. President, high five me!”
Obama doesn’t need a Bible because he IS Jeebus.
is them playing “patty-cake-patty-cake-muslim-man”
they’re fingers are not right
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/codex_magica/images/fcodex_56.jpg
I thought it’s supposed to be both hands…against the wall.
I’m pretty sure it was: “Simon sez hop on your left foot and hold your right hand in the air. Now wiggle your fingers…”
And Hopey was all: “Nope. Simon didn’t say wiggle your fingers…
Let’s see… the most the Foxtards have on Obama is that Roberts goofed the oath and they had a do-over.
OTOH, we Libtards have Bush for taking office on a 537-vote plurality in Florida, which was essentially awarded to him by the Supreme Court, resulting in weirdness and illegitimacy and all that.
Sounds like we Libtards have the Foxtards beat on this. We are, after all, the elite thinkers of our time.
Why doesn’t Roberts just call him “slave” and get it over with?
You know that’s what he wants to say.
Got any otherwise unadmissible evidence around I can serendipitously stumble upon?
the press corps went apeshit on poor robert gibbs over this, i laughed out loud when one guy kept whining that this photo was taken by the white house photographer rather than a press photographer. clearly this is just the latest propaganda to help hopey get on with his fake presidency; those press nuts sounded like rush limbaugh going on about what conspiracies lurk behind this photo.
oh and best press conference idiocy, came from the loser that was upset that only 4 pool reporters witnessed this moment, clearly that was something ominous as well.
[re=225873]Servo[/re]: Win, obviously.
[re=225828]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: SLAP, beyotch!!! I personally would have been tickled shitless to see Obama lay a mean smack upside that cracker’s head. “That’s Justice for ya, ya retrofuck religionistic freak in a dress!!!”
Do not be deceived. They were actually in the middle of this dance:

It’s all good guys, reciting the oath verbatim doesn’t matter. I fucked up my vows at my wedding and its lasted. Well, no. No it didn’t. I was divorced after 3 years. Barry will be impeached/jihaded within 36 months!
I made a new Blingee!
http://blingee.com/blingee/view/81819662-Take-two
So what, Libtards claim we didn’t have a legitimate president from January 2001 until January 2005 (and some aren’t sure about the four years after), now it’s their turn for illegitimacy…
[re=225950]Deepthroat[/re]: Aretha Franklin’s bow has taken it’s rightful place!
[re=225950]Deepthroat[/re]: Oh my god. It looks like Barry is wearing Aretha’s inauguration hat. I love it!
Patrick Duffy??!! I didn’t think it possible, Jim Newell, but I love you even more now.
[re=225769]Fivetree[/re]: With any luck, Roberts wakes up and realizes it was just a dream
Deepthroat, that’s one evil Blingee Win..!
While you can’t see it in the photo, they are both standing on a prayer rug, which is why they didn’t need the Lincoln Koran for this one.
Actually, they were very careful to do things right this time, and even said the Oath in the Original Aramaic:
Roberts:Es ist Zeit für Rache!
Obama:Wir müssen die Juden ausrotten!
Sure it’s dumb, but what choice did Obama have, really? If he didn’t take the oath again, he’d risk another Katrina-like flood… this time caused by the slack-jawed drool from about 3 million wild-eyed, paranoid, mouthbreathing RepubTards.
It’s just like Pat predicted: Lots of high fives. The fun starts at the top, apparently.
So now I know what my grandma was talking about on the phone tonight: “I wish they would just shut up about him already– they even swored him in twice!” I’m glad to be able to remove one item from the evidence of incipient dementia list.
Now touch your fingers to your nose, and repeat the alphabet backward. OK, Chief Justice, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say, out of your drunken, neo-con, Haavard educated mouth can and will be taken down as a dissenting opinion wunst I get MY court packing going. BTW, how is Alito’s asthma doing? I hear its real hard for him to breathe now without his special vaporizer, heh heh heh.
They’re facing Mecca.
