Obama seems to be carrying through.

I didn't doubt he would. Still, about five minutes after he become president, I, as a non-believer, was recognized as a person. On top of that, he's doing fun stuff like signing orders to close gitmo and allowing stem-cell research.

Then the people he appointed are really good. All in all, I'm pretty jazzed so far.*

Barack Obama says Non-Believers exist.

It's actually kind of a milestone and I sort of expected it. I tend to have high expectations of him. When I first saw the flub with the oath of office I kind of remembered and kind of expected that Roberts was the one to screw it up rather than Obama, because Obama wouldn't make such a silly mistake.

Apparently this nation includes non-believers. It's a small gesture, but you kind of hate to be left out of inclusive language. Hooray!

Obama was right to vote against confirming Roberts...

The guy can't even avoid botching one line.

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

I loved how Obama stopped and smirked at "execute" realizing that Roberts messed up. I also didn't like the "So help me God?" at the end there. The presidents traditionally just tag that on but it's not part of the actual oath and Roberts shouldn't have asked the question (though the justices in the past have said it).



For comparison.
