Inauguration 2009

An Abundance of Caution

President Obama retook the Oath of Office today. White House Counsel Greg Craig explained:

And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time.

The ceremony took place in the Map Room at the White House (strange choice of room).

And more fuel for the conspiracy wingnuts: he didn't swear the Oath on a Bible. Seriously.
