New President

Post by Monroe »

Happens today :D :D

Little poll numbers: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_pl212

Pretty awesome. So ends the reign of George III. Kind of fitting considering who was King of England when America got its independence. Happens tonight, hope everything goes off without a hitch.

It was a great speech; I hope everyone got the message.

They had a little trouble with the oath: Obama and Roberts talked over each other, and then Roberts fucked up by putting the word "faithfully" in the wrong place. :P

That was probably the best bit of the entire ceremony. :lol: You could almost hear Obama's :wtf:.

Great speech. I'm excited to see us going on the right track.

any one notice the error in the speech?




Obama said he was the 44th person to take the oath, but he's the 43rd person the 44th president. Garfield servied two terms but not back to back, so he get's counted as two presidents even though he's the same person.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It almost seems as if you're damned if you do, damned if you don't with that one, because if he had said he was the 43rd person, then I can imagine a ton of people who didn't know better thinking he got it wrong because they've heard that he's the 44th president.

The guy giving it apparently messed up saving "Faithfully" as well.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
