Obama has taken the oath of office again last night after the joint flub on Tuesday with he and the Chief Justice.
And out of the abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice John Roberts administer[ed] the oath a second time.
This one was just funny to me, especially as I saw Biden make a crack at Roberts in the White House Press room yesterday. Obama didn't think Biden was funny, and so hit him on the elbow and showed a straight face all the way (watch it here). It seems the Biden gaffe machine is already under way. If it's in temperament alone, it seems our President knows how to be cautious, measured, and show a reasonable demeanor to the American public. I don't know how important those things are in the grand scale of things, but they only help his image and they do evidence some sort personal virtue.

The video clip of Biden is a nice find; insightful analysis. Setting political viewpoints aside and looking simply at personalities, Obama/Biden has a very different feel relative to Bush/Cheney. The tail won't be wagging the dog anymore, for one thing (at least in perception), even if we see a lot more of the tail.
Hah, that's funny. It's so true. With this new administration, one can keep fresh the memories of how these administrations run things. Aside from politics, I care about how the administrations communicate with the press, with the American public, and how it communicates with the opposite side of the aisle. Even if the politics are left, I am optimistic at least in these last few things.
Wow, Biden comes off like a bit of a jerk in that clip, doesn't he?
