Presidential Oath Take Two

Out of an abundance of caution, Obama took the oath of office a second time yesterday. "The AP report said Obama made light of the episode tonight. When Roberts asked him if he was ready to take the oath, Obama said, 'Yes, I am, and we're going to do it very slowly.' After the second oath was over, Roberts said to Obama, 'Congratulations, again.'"

The first time Roberts also added, "So help you God."

That's often been done before and Obama asked him to this time. Also it's after the oath, so it doesn't change the oath that he gave.
