To Be or Not To Be, that is the Question

WASHINGTON – After the flub heard around the world, President Barack Obama has taken the oath of office. Again. Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the oath to Obama on Wednesday night at the White House — a rare do-over. The surprise moment came in response to Tuesday's much-noticed stumble, when Roberts got the words of the oath a little off, which prompted Obama to do so, too.
Don't worry, the White House says: Obama has still been president since noon on Inauguration Day.
Nevertheless, Obama and Roberts went through the drill again out of what White House counsel Greg Craig called "an abundance of caution."
This time, the scene was the White House Map Room in front of a small group of reporters, not the Capitol platform before the whole watching world.
"We decided that because it was so much fun ...," Obama joked to reporters who followed press secretary Robert Gibbs into the room. No TV camera crews or news photographers were allowed in. A few of Obama's closest aides were there, along with a White House photographer.
Roberts put on his black robe.
"Are you ready to take the oath?" he said.
"Yes, I am," Obama said. "And we're going to do it very slowly."
Roberts then led Obama through the oath without any missteps.
The president said he did not have his Bible with him, but that the oath was binding anyway.
The original, bungled version on Tuesday caught observers by surprise and then got replayed on cable news shows.

It was more than a good idea for Obama to take the Oath again. I would hate for them to say that Obama wasn't President due to a technicality. The government is funny like that, or maybe I'm just going on with my conspiracy theory...

The Constitution states that the oath has to be repeated exactly the way that it is written. My question now is "did it matter about the Bible?" If it didn't matter in the first place why did Obama use Lincoln's Bible. But if the bible does matter, is he technically the President of the United States. I think Obama should do it again, after all, three times a charm.

I just need it to be absolutely official, and know that I can go to sleep and wake up with Obama still as President, not Jeb Bush, or any of the other Bush's for that matter.

Sorry Jenna and Barbara, your names precede you.
