Next Jan. 20, you'll have to cover yourself with a tarp.
I just realized that thousands of Freepers' heads will be exploding when they hear:

"I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear..."



It's gonna get messy, folks.

Be prepared.





:rofl:

1. I didn't think the middle name was part of the oath.

5. Jimmy Carter was sworn in as
"Jimmy Carter" not his full name.

I don't think Barack will use his middle name in the oath.

But are you sure he said the oath that way?

10. Whoops, my bad, you're right
"His wife, Rosalynn, held Carter's Bible. And Carter, whose full name is James Earl Carter Jr., added another presidential first when he took the formal oath as "Jimmy." The oath was administered by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, whose snow-white hair contrasted sharply wit his official black robes of office."

In that case, I'm kinda leaning towards "Barry". Makes him seem less, you know, elitist. :rofl:
