I Will Execute, Faithfully, This Post Without Skepticism

President Obama probably does not want his first day in office remembered for what history might refer as the Abundance Of Caution oath.  I don't usually quote pool reporters in their entirety, but the following, from Wes Allison of the St. Petersburg Times, is a gem. The president seems to be in good spirits about it. Note that earlier in the day, his senior staff told reporters that a second oath was unnecessary and wouldn't be administered. Suddenly, at about 7:50, that changed.

At 735 pm, Roberts administred the oath of office again to obama in the map
room. Robert gibbs said the wh counsel, greg craig, believes the oath was
fine Tuesday, but one word was out of sequence so they did this out of a
"an abundance of caution."
"We decided it was so much fun..." Obama joked while sitting on a couch.
Obama stood and walked over to make small talk with pool as roberts donned
his black robe.
"Are you ready to take the oath?" Roberts asked.
"I am, and we're going to do it very slowly," obama replied.
Oath took 25 seconds.
After a flawless recitation, roberts smiled and said, "congratulations,
again."
Obama said, "thank you, sir."
Smattering of applause.
"All right." Obama said. "The bad news for the pool is there's 12 more
balls."
