MORE OBAMA NEWS

BARACK OBAMA WORE A BULLETPROOF SUIT AT THE INAUGURATION:

Admit it . . . when BARACK OBAMA was being sworn in as president, it crossed your mind that someone might try to assassinate him. (Thankfully no one did!!) Well, it seems that thought occurred to the Secret Service too. That's why on inauguration day, Obama was wearing a BULLETPROOF SUIT. (Wired / CNN)

And he was also riding around in the new bulletproof Presidential limo made by Cadillac . . . which the Secret Service refers to as "the Beast". But if you watched even a little of the inauguration coverage, you probably already knew that.

So you know, no one's saying where Obama got his bulletproof suit, but there's a chance it came from Miguel Caballero . . . a Colombian designer who makes clothes capable of stopping a slug from a 9-mm revolver. Take a look here . . .) http://www.miguelcaballero.com/

(--We're not sure if the bulletproof suit was only for the inauguration ceremony, or if he wore them to the inaugural balls as well. But judging from the way he got down on the dance floor, we're thinking not. Check that out here . . .)http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2009/01/21/vo.inaug.obama.boogies.cnn

OBAMA RETOOK THE PRESIDENTIAL OATH LAST NIGHT . . . JUST TO BE SAFE:

You know how BARACK OBAMA and Chief Justice JOHN ROBERTS screwed up the presidential oath at the inauguration on Tuesday? Well, it seems some of Obama's people were worried about the legal ramifications the mistake could have on his presidency.

So in order to erase any doubt that Obama is LEGALLY the president of the United State, he retook the oath last night at 7:35 P.M. Eastern . . . and this time he nailed it.

According to a statement from the White House, quote, "We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the president was sworn in appropriately [on Tuesday]. --"But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time." (Yahoo News)

(--Officially, the Constitution states that Obama became president at exactly noon on Tuesday . . . even though he didn't take the oath until five minutes PAST noon. So why even bother re-administering the oath?) (--Well, "an abundance of caution" is just another way of saying there are too many lawyers who would LOVE to get their hands on some government-funded billable hours in order to work this case for loopholes. Makes more sense now, right?)
