Official Second Term Portrait

Dropped the ball on the family photo.

His official 2nd term pic looks boss though. Should have got a line-up though.

C'mon son.
 
Why a private ceremony before the public one?

Law states a President must be sworn in by Jan 20; but since it's a Sunday, they want to have a public one on the 21 which is a Monday. Legally he was sworn in and is now officially on his second term... the swearing in tomorrow is merely symbolic.
 
Anyone know the history of the bibles they used? Biden's looks big and old.

The one Obama used today is an old Michelle Obama family Bible that her father gave to his wife back in 1958.

The one used during the symbolic inauguration tomorrow will be one used by Martin Luther King Jr., and stacked on top of Abraham Lincoln's Bible used during his first inauguration and Obama's first.

The Bible used in Biden's ceremony is simply a Bible that has been in the Biden Family for quite some time.
 
You think they had enough flags?

Everywhere except people's homes have like 5 flags, 1 is never enough. It screams insecurity.
 
Needs to start his speech with, "I believe Leon Trotsky once said…"

Clearly, after the inauguration, Roberts took Obama aside, opened the bible, and showed how it had been hollowed out and contained the Communist Manifesto. Then they did their secret communist handshake.
 
I was going to drive to Silver Spring tomorrow, but the guaranteed terrible traffic is forcing me to change my plans.

Thanks Obama.
 
Huh.. I'm not digging the bangs. But at least this should add more google searches for "bangs first lady," which is pretty funny.
 
Found slightly more about the Biden bible...

Biden will use his family bible, which according to the presidential inauguration committee is "five inches thick" and "has a Celtic cross on the cover". It has been in the Biden family since 1893.
