England for Obama

Here was the deadly serious yet simultaneously hilarious moment when Obama took the oath of office. Like two actors who have learned their lines, and one fluffs them up (Chief Justice Roberts, not Obama, I hasten to add), the other actor doesn’t know whether to carry on regardless, or adjust to the new line he’s been given as his cue. Brilliant:

Joe Biden made fun of the moment today:

Some experts – presidential boffins, if you will – are now saying that Obama should retake the oath, just to be on the safe side.

*Update* Obama has, indeed, retaken the oath. See here.
