Due to the botched oath with Chief Justice Roberts at Obama’s Inauguration ceremony, the President felt it best to re-take the oath, just as a precaution, despite the fact that he was officially President at 12:01 PM on January 20. I thought that was a good idea, and then I learned that in his second oath, no bible was present. No big deal necessarily, but still is worth mentioning, largely due to the response on atheist blogs such as this one:

Obviously this is not that much of a big deal and the second taking of the oath was just, as the white house lawyer put it, “out of the abundance of caution”. But it is refreshing to see that Obama doesn’t attach much important to religious pomp and ceremony.
