		<description>I can understand the new president being nervous, and I&#039;m sure the news media will forgive him quickly. I wonder how quickly the media would have forgiven a republican for the same mistake? I did not vote for President Obama, but he has my support. I&#039;m proud of the way he handled today. I&#039;m not proud of the way some people booed the former president and his wife.</description>

Right. Forget about that pile of shit we&#039;ve been sitting in for the past 7 years. No, it&#039;s the pile of shit that G.A. *thinks* might happen that&#039;s much worse.

Boy, nothing like conservative collective amnesia.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If 100 million Americans were watching me live, and an historic president was staring at me from a distance of 3 feet, I&#039;d probably be sweating and shaking so hard they&#039;d hospitalize me :-)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Thanks for your comment, Senator Kennedy.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
FWIW I don&#039;t think Roberts should beat himself up about flubbing the line twice. Stress makes us botch things sometimes. No harm.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Completely agree.  It was a light moment of humanity intervening in a solemn occasion.  Noteworthy, I thought, but not otherwise a big deal.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Which means he isn&#039;t President, right?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I am not a lawyer but I&#039;ve had several friends who were, and we&#039;ve talked about these kinds of situations before. They tell me that in the event of a pointless technicality, like the word &#039;faithfully&#039; being in the wrong place here, judges almost never take the stupidly literalist position and invalidate the action. They typically rule according to what all parties generally understood had happened. 

The last conversation I had about this was with a lawyer named Jeff. I&#039;d just heard that some state&#039;s entrance into the union had some niggling technical error. I asked him what the outcome of that could be. Would a judge rule that the state (sorry I forget which)was no longer part of the US? Jeff explained that if they thought they joined the union 100 years ago or whenever, and for 100 years everyone&#039;s behaved as if they were in the union, then no judge would radically change that just because of some silly paperwork error.</description>
