LOL-Is This All They've Got Today? "Barack H. Obama drops Hussein from the presidential oath" [View all]

Barack H. Obama drops Hussein from the presidential oath


The Barack Hussein Obama of 2009 has been replaced in President Obama’s 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.
