Checklist for tomorrow's (Friday) retaking of the Oath, again
Since nothing but perfection will seem to satisfy rabid rightwing hate machine (wasn't there a talking point about how they had never heard of anyone being as hated as Bush was? :shrug: )
Anyway I thought we might want to come up with all the things Obama will need to this doesn't stretch into a FIFTH DAY over the weekend

I will email this to the White House. Please offer anything you can think of

So far I have the following

A Bible
A Bible in Latin
A Bible in Sanskrit
A Bible-Old Testament in Dolphin squeak New Testament in Meerkat chatter (to satisfy the Dominionist crowd)
A lock of Rick Warren's "macho" ;-) 1990's-esque Goattee
The Bones of Oden
The skull of Lincoln (call Colbert on that one)
A vial of Jerome Corsi's tears
Neptune's Trident (or a copy of "Little Mermaid" or any approved Disney product -does not include "Farenheit 9/11" Disney let Miramax have all that money)
A copy of "Farenhype 9/11"
Duggan afterbirth
Heston's cold dead hand
A Supreme Court Justice/judge/magistrate/Notary who can pull off reading 35 words in the correct order

2. Sorry. If the Archangel Gabriel isn't there to play "Hail to the Chief" on his trumpet
at the end of the Oath, it won't count.

5. The answer is this.....
If there are any right wingers out there who still question the legitimacy then all they have to do is call and make a threat against our President. Then they can see how long it takes before their asses are arrested!!! Right wingers are such sore losers.

9. Brick, fucking stupid these people are....
...and approaching sand, fucking stupid. They are in such a hissy fit over their presumptive loss of power - which is the real root of their fucking infantile, puerile, childish behavior - that they fail to see that their actions, if by actions you mean holding their breath until they turn blue, are damaging the nation.

Someone needs to give them a time out.

10. Who's Jerome Corsi?
Obama may need a vial of gypsy tears for protection as well. If Jerome Corsi is a Romanian Gypsy, that may do the trick.

11. Corsi

Unfit for Command

Main article: Unfit for Command

In August 2004, Corsi's Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, co-authored with John O'Neill, was published by Regnery Publishing. The book was criticized for containing interviews with people who did not serve with Kerry, and many who did serve with Kerry called the book's claims false.<24> Of those interviewed for the book, some asserted that their statements were edited to strip out material favorable to Kerry.<25>

Corsi's cooperation with the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth provoked the website Media Matters for America to re-post a number of controversial comments — some which were interpreted to be anti-Islamic, anti-Catholic, and antisemitic.<26> — made by Corsi at the forum threads of the Free Republic website from 2001 through 2004 and at a website critical of John Kerry.<27><28> Corsi responded that the selected posts were failed attempts at humor, but the Media Matters for America story rapidly spread.<29> After this Corsi was "sidelined" from the Swiftboat group.<30> When questioned about his connection with Corsi at this time, John O'Neill claimed that Corsi was not actually a co-author of the book Unfit for Command, but rather was "simply an editor."<31><32> Nevertheless, O'Neill described Corsi as the book's "coauthor" in a 2007 letter to the New York Times<33>. Scott Swett and Tim Ziegler describe Corsi's efforts in writing the book, referring to him as one of its "authors," in their book To Set the Record Straight.<34>

In 2007 Corsi, along with several other authors, sued Regnery's parent company, Eagle Publishing, claiming the company “orchestrate and participate in a fraudulent, deceptively concealed and self-dealing scheme to divert book sales away from retail outlets and to wholly owned subsidiary organizations within the Eagle conglomerate.” <35> The suit was dismissed on June 30, 2008<36>

The Obama Nation

Main article: The Obama Nation

Corsi's book The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality was released on August 1, 2008, and is critical of Barack Obama and his candidacy for President. In response, the Obama campaign issued a 40 page rebuttal called "Unfit for Publication" on his website FightTheSmears.com, alleging factual errors.<37> The Democratic National Committee responded calling him "One of the most vile smear peddlers of the 2004 election" and he was "too crazy even for Swiftboat liars."<38> According to various American news sources, many of the accusations made in the book are unsubstantiated, misleading, or inaccurate.<39><40><41><42><43><44><45> <46>

According to The New York Times, "Significant parts of the book, whose subtitle is 'Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality,' have challenged in the days since its debut on Aug. 1."<44> Nonetheless, it made its first appearance on The Times' best-sellers list for nonfiction hardcovers at No. 1.<47> Corsi has conducted over 100 interviews promoting the book<44>, including a scheduled appearance<48><49> on the The Political Cesspool, a white supremacist<50> radio talk show. He previously appeared on the show on July 20th, <51> but he cancelled his August 17th appearance because of a change in "travel plans".<52> In August 2008, Corsi appeared on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' radio show and promoted The Obama Nation.<53>

The Obama Nation has been criticized by Paul Waldman as being "filled with falsehoods", <54> and in a debate with Corsi on Larry King Live, Waldman accused Corsi of using baseless innuendo as a tactic to 'smear' Obama.<55>

On October 7, 2008, Corsi was detained by immigration authorities in Kenya while promoting his book, allegedly without a work permit. Press reports gave another possible reason for his detainment: accusations directed towards the Kenyan prime minister Raila Odinga allegedly to be made at the press conference, which was abruptly interrupted by Kenyan immigration officials.<56><57> A Nairobi newspaper reported that Corsi would soon be deported.<58>
