LOL-Is This All They've Got Today? "Barack H. Obama drops Hussein from the presidential oath"

Barack H. Obama drops Hussein from the presidential oath


The Barack Hussein Obama of 2009 has been replaced in President Obama’s second inaugural celebration by “Barack H. Obama.”

In taking the oath of office Monday morning before Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, Mr. Obama abbreviated his birth name, giving only the initial “H.”

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, also referred to the president as Barack H. Obama in his introductory remarks for the public swearing-in ceremony.

Four years ago, the official inauguration schedule also referred to “Barack H. Obama,” but Mr. Obama used his full name in taking the oath of office.

I don't know what the hell they are talking about but he took the oath with his full name.

But both Roberts and the president used Hussein. Roll tape. Easily refuted.

Chuck Schumer said "Barack H. Obama" at the beginning of the ceremony--which I did think was weird---for reasons I won't go into here....

Absolutely during the oath President Obama said "Barack Hussein Obama."

And I had my own ideas of why too. But the President clearly was sworn in using his whole name.

That's why you've got to see and hear everything for yourself these days, you can't trust the MSM!

the oath had the whole thing so perhaps they should issue a correction.

except for the singers/poet, perhaps.

I noticed that at the beginning and listened for it thru the rest. My first thought would be that the Freepers would go into orbit about what he was trying to hide.

Though the title still lies.

Now it says:

Barack H. Obama drops Hussein from inauguration ceremony

The Barack Hussein Obama of 2009 has been replaced in President Obama’s second inaugural celebration by “Barack H. Obama.”

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, referred to the president as Barack H. Obama in his introductory remarks for the public swearing-in ceremony.

Still, Obama used his full name while taking the oath from Chief Justice John Roberts.
...
UPDATED: The initial post incorrectly stated the president did not use his middle name in taking the oath of office.


Ironically, the 'reporter' is listed as "David R. Sands". Or is that David R. Sole?
