Barack H. Obama drops Hussein from the presidential oath
The Barack Hussein Obama of 2009 has been replaced in President Obamas second inaugural celebration by Barack H. Obama.
In taking the oath of office Monday morning before Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, Mr. Obama abbreviated his birth name, giving only the initial H.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, also referred to the president as Barack H. Obama in his introductory remarks for the public swearing-in ceremony.
Four years ago, the official inauguration schedule also referred to Barack H. Obama, but Mr. Obama used his full name in taking the oath of office.

(383 posts)Chuck Schumer said "Barack H. Obama" at the beginning of the ceremony--which I did think was weird---for reasons I won't go into here....
Absolutely during the oath President Obama said "Barack Hussein Obama."

I noticed that at the beginning and listened for it thru the rest. My first thought would be that the Freepers would go into orbit about what he was trying to hide.

Now it says:
The Barack Hussein Obama of 2009 has been replaced in President Obamas second inaugural celebration by Barack H. Obama.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, referred to the president as Barack H. Obama in his introductory remarks for the public swearing-in ceremony.
Still, Obama used his full name while taking the oath from Chief Justice John Roberts.

UPDATED: The initial post incorrectly stated the president did not use his middle name in taking the oath of office.
Ironically, the 'reporter' is listed as "David R. Sands". Or is that David R. Sole?
