But Mr Obama joked: "We decided it was so much fun...." before adding: "We're going to do it very slowly."

In contrast to the first oath-taking, Mr Obama did not swear on a Bible and his wife Michelle was not at his side.

Tomorrow?

He's already done it in this country.

(that is, according to channel4 news he issued the order 'today').

I thought the majority of it was funded by donations, save for the swearing-in which has always been tax-funded

I see your point, really the post cleared it up.

But I guess I enjoyed the excitement of the people there and thought it was well worth it. Just see it differently I guess. My aunt happens to be a Manager of the Adams Hotel I think it is, and shared the same sentiment as you.

I thought it meant did not swear on the same bible.

I think it still counts though.

According to wikipedia, it does (count, that is (the bible and the words "so help me god" aren't required)).

So, according to the common belief about wikipedia, it doesn't (count ('cos wikipedia's never right, right)).
