Taking the vow

Who among us has not fluffed their marriage vows on the day. Do we consider ourselves perhaps not properly married

How extraordinary that Obama re-swore his Presidential oath, in private, ‘in an excess of caution.’

Needless to say a lawyer was on hand to explain the slippery slope argument to the BBC – the oath is the oath, all 35 words of it, & if we allow any change, however small & accidental, who knows where it might lead

I find the most extraordinary thing about this story to be that there was, apparently, no Bible ‘immediately to hand’ in the White House
