Here’s Obama’s Secret ‘Real Oath’ That Never Took Place Because This Picture Is Fraudulent & Communist

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.

  2. What about the photographer, Pete Souza? He’s a witness!

  3. skroocap says at 1:32 pm, January 22nd, 2009

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:34 pm, January 22nd, 2009

  5. bitchincamaro says at 1:34 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    The joke’s on Roberts; Barry had his fingers crossed. Beeaaatch!

  6. BarthexDeRosa says at 1:34 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Not even if the guy in the black robe is obviously Larry Hagman?

  7. CrunchyKnee says at 1:34 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    What no American Bible or a Muslin Koran?!!!!111?

  8. hockeymom says at 1:35 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Where’s the Bible, people?
    He can’t be president because there was NO BIBLE.
    I heard it on FOX.

  9. Fivetree says at 1:35 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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?

  10. randomsausage says at 1:35 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    “Now repeat after me, ‘I am a dick-weed chief justice’”.

  11. PrairiePossum says at 1:35 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Ooopsy Daisy! Forgot the hand on the Bible business. Take three?

  12. lawrenceofthedesert says at 1:35 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Everybody sing: “Five dollar, five dollar foot-longs!”

  13. lenorecutie says at 1:35 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    They’re not doing the oath. They’re greeting each other in Long Ranger fashion.

    “How Kimosabi”

  14. hockeymom says at 1:36 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    skroocap: CrunchyKnee: I’m too slow. Sad.

  15. lenorecutie says at 1:37 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    lenorecutie:Um… Lone Ranger

  16. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 1:38 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    John Roberts has giant hands.

  17. sevenrepeat says at 1:38 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    i have that same picture on my drivers license!!

  18. facehead says at 1:38 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    The correct caption is:

    “Most awkward high-five ever”

  19. NoWireHangers says at 1:39 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    FOUR YEARS of President Obama. Wow. It’s still sinking in. It feels great.

  20. 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?

  21. You know Roberts is just dying for Obama to lean in and kiss him.

  22. SpikeyDog says at 1:39 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Just a high five. “We sure fooled them yesterday. Wait till they find out Biden in the real Prez.”

  23. The Cold Sea says at 1:41 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    We haz an atheirst preznit! No Bayble!

  24. Violenza says at 1:41 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    No way. Patrick Duffy has way better hair than that.

  25. trondant says at 1:42 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Actually, I think they’re laughing about how they went to Albany together last year and asked Paterson to high-five them.

  26. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:43 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    There’s something papal and therefore creepy about this photo.

  27. sevenrepeat says at 1:44 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  28. PopeyesPipe says at 1:45 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    The old Harpo and Lucy routine.

  29. Roberts was allowed to use a telepromter this time. In the photo, he’s reading the weather.

  30. hockeymom says at 1:50 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    trondant: Sadly, Simon Cowell did NOT give Patterson a golden ticket to Hollywood.

  31. shanemacgowan says at 1:52 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Barry’s giving the CJ a terrorist hand slap.

  32. friendlyskies says at 1:55 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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?

  33. fillintheblank says at 1:58 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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]

  34. Lucas Burch says at 2:00 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    It’s really the secret Skull & Bones handshake now that Barry is allowed into the club.

  35. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 2:01 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    It’s the 21st century. Surely we can get electric lights installed in the White House and replace those candles.

  36. Monsieur Grumpe says at 2:02 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    It’s the “live long and prosper” version for the uncoordinated.

  37. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 2:02 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    And Roberts, also.

  38. Sassette says at 2:03 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    “You know, John, they say if your hand is bigger than your face it means you’re deformed…”

  39. Cape Clod says at 2:04 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Did a mason witness it? It’s no good unless a mason was present.

  40. fillintheblank:
    The testimony was comedy gold.

  41. user-of-owls says at 2:07 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Naked Bunny with a Whip: Change freak!

  42. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:07 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    …why am I imagining Barry saying “What did the 5 fingers say to the face?!”

  43. user-of-owls says at 2:08 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Cape Clod: They deported the mason. The dishwasher too.

  44. DoctorCulturae says at 2:08 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.”

  45. magic titty says at 2:11 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    He is afraid of Barry. As is Barry Lyndon, in the background there.

  46. sevenrepeat says at 2:15 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Cape Clod: i think the mason is working for turbo tax tim now. i guess he heard the job pays $34,000.

  47. DoctorCulturae says at 2:17 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    And Patrick Duffy? I’m thinking more a young David Morse:

  48. Carlo Wildwood says at 2:18 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Fivetree: How about the past eight years?

  49. Quick, run this by Chris Wallace over at Faux news to see if I’m the President yet.

  50. I can’t believe that no one has blingee’d that picture yet. You people are slacking.

  51. CrunchyKnee: 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!

  52. donner_froh says at 2:30 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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?

  53. Purple Tide says at 2:32 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    NYNYNY: Baby skin?

  54. “Now that the oath is done, Mr. President, high five me!”

  55. ChasingUtley says at 2:37 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Obama doesn’t need a Bible because he IS Jeebus.

  56. is them playing “patty-cake-patty-cake-muslim-man”

  57. I thought it’s supposed to be both hands…against the wall.

  58. Toomush Infermashun says at 2:55 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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…

  59. President Beeblebrox says at 2:56 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  60. Aquannissiwamissoo says at 2:57 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Why doesn’t Roberts just call him “slave” and get it over with?

    You know that’s what he wants to say.

  61. Chief Grinning Eagle says at 3:08 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Got any otherwise unadmissible evidence around I can serendipitously stumble upon?

  62. sarcasticusername says at 3:11 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  63. sarcasticusername says at 3:13 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  64. magic titty says at 3:13 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Servo: Win, obviously.

  65. Merry Christen says at 3:17 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: 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!!!”

  66. persiflage says at 3:19 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Do not be deceived. They were actually in the middle of this dance:

  67. DarkSynergy says at 3:30 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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!

  68. Deepthroat says at 3:38 pm, January 22nd, 2009
  69. 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…

  70. blinky_twinkie says at 3:55 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Deepthroat: Aretha Franklin’s bow has taken it’s rightful place!

  71. OffTheRecord says at 3:58 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Deepthroat: Oh my god. It looks like Barry is wearing Aretha’s inauguration hat. I love it!

  72. sanantonerose says at 4:14 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Patrick Duffy??!! I didn’t think it possible, Jim Newell, but I love you even more now.

  73. Jamie Sommers says at 4:15 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Fivetree: With any luck, Roberts wakes up and realizes it was just a dream

  74. Toomush Infermashun says at 4:20 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    Deepthroat, that’s one evil Blingee Win..!

  75. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:25 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  76. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:29 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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!

  77. Atheist Nun says at 4:40 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    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.

  78. Madaloon says at 6:56 pm, January 22nd, 2009

    It’s just like Pat predicted: Lots of high fives. The fun starts at the top, apparently.

  79. 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.

  80. 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.

  81. They’re facing Mecca.
