President Obama

[moonwise]

Poor guy flubbed his lines, he was so anxious. :)

ETA: Chief Justice Roberts messed up, not Pres. Obama

O HAY PREZ OBAMA, thanks for the part about restoring science to its rightful place (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for that sentiment) and also for the shout-out to nonbelievers.

Was I the only one who thought that poem was terrible?

My husband is down there on the Mall. Hope he gets out OK.

Yeah, the restoring science thing won me over too :-) And the various religions mentioned, along with the non-believers, though that note is kind of lost when he refers to God several times elsewhere in his speech ::sigh::

Well, to be honest, although Americans are somewhat less religious than they profess to be, they still expect their leader to embody the qualities that they themselves might not have. One of those qualities is faith in God, so Obama kinda has to mention God all the time.
