So I mentioned yesterday that Fox News was claiming that Obama wasn’t really the president yet because of the mix up at the oath ceremony. So imagine my anger when I see this just moments ago on MSNBC.

You might have noticed a little slip up during the oath ceremony and the clowns at Fox News are now trying to stir up some trouble with that. You can’t make this stuff up.

A sign of the times? Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri was twittering at the inauguration.
