A Stutter in Time

So it wasn't the most auspicious of starts. But, hey, we all make mistakes. And Obama did actually say it all despite a stumble. It isn't as though he missed a bit off and didn't swear to look after America! I don't think it did any harm to do it again though, just so people can't challenge him in court in 6 months time. I blame the Chief Justice. I listened to him and he put no rhythm into it. When trying to get someone to repeat an oath rhythm is all important. Without it the lines become entangled, they lose sense, and timing goes wrong. Which is exactly what happened.

But I am truly amazed that some are thinking of challenging in court the decisions made in the last 24 hours. These are clearly the people who ahven't accepted the world changing moment this could be. Who don't see that a new way is needed. That for America to call itself the leaders of the free world means that it is time for them to step up to the plate. And what do they think. If they were successful and the few signatures repealed. Would Obama really not go back and sign them again. Who in their right mind can think that he would just roll over simply because of that.
