Noonan's analysis is good and I believe accurate. I strongly agree with Noonan that Obama is getting his daily security briefings, this was evident with his tone weeks ago and change of plans in most instances. There are more problems than the general public are allowed to see. In short, Obama has been enlightened to many problems that he was not privy too before winning the election. It paints a much different picture.

You know what though, here we have a young guy, multitasks, concerned, ready to go full steam ahead and has the energy to do so. That is a good thing.

One question remains...wtf had Chief Justice Roberts been drinking before he decided to show up? I mean, how many mistakes did he make? The guy who is supposed to swear in the new president...fugs up royally. I mean, that had to be on purpose, they are still that bitter about the whole thing so they tried to mess with the oath.

"I will execute the office of the President to the United States faithfully"?

I do not think anyone is bitter, specifically Roberts. I think he was freezing his butt off in front of 2 million people. There will be mistakes.

That is exactly what it was like and smirks/smiles and a few giggles=a mistake or two. Just humans being humans. Let's face it, it was an historical event, first black President and here is Chief Justice in the thick of it to get it done. You tell me, would your head not be spinning a little bit? Mine sure would. Your image forever in the history books....FOREVER...holding the Bible swearing in the first black President.

Yep.

Amazing what the freezing cold can do to ones thought processes. I wonder if President Obama has re-read the oath since that slip-up on the part of the Chief Justice. Just read this article in the Times which asks the question: "Is Barack Obama really the President of the United States?" I have no doubts. The bloke is the 44th Pres.

The Fox News guys weren't so sure however if Obama had become President: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_LUtNway9x4

Still in denial, I guess

Obama became the president at noon before the oath was even read. FOX News should have a better understanding of constitutional law.

Maybe they do, he had to re-take it.

Actually, he didn't have to retake it if he didn't want to...

Their reporting quality is quite poor, like how they insinuated Al Franken had been part of some Democrat scandal.

I'm not into chasing shadows. The judge made a simple (and harmless) mistake of the kind that is just human. And Obamas tongue also fumbled as a conseqeunce - and the man smiled, a bit nervous, too. It gave the whole scene a sympathetic touch. After all he is still just a human. It made me smiling - not gloating, but in good will.

Agree with your thoughts on P Noonan's analysis of the Obama speech. Also agree with the rest of what you said there.
