    President Obama Sworn In for a Second Term, in a Quiet Ceremony

    http://www.nytimes.com/?emc=na
    Quote
    President Obama was quietly sworn into office for a second term just before noon in a brief and intimate ceremony, ahead of Monday’s far showier public inaugural celebrations.
    The ceremony, which lasted less than two minutes, satisfied the Constitutional requirement that the president’s swearing-in take place by noon on the Jan. 20 after an election.
    The oath was administered by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. in the White House Blue Room, an elegant, gilded space with a sweeping view of the South Lawn. Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was sworn in earlier in the day.

    Remember when Roberts screwed up the first oath (subsequent re-oathing was performed later) and Jack Dublin freaked out about it?

    Hilarious.

    The article states that he read from the script this time instead of trying to remember it.

    Yes, soulflower. The unofficial one. I said -- official. The important one.

    That's because they needed time to edit the video so that the robot looked real.
