EXTRA! EXTRA! Condi First African American and Female President
Ok, this madness about the oath of office is getting ridiculous now. But I just had to bring this little bit of hilarity to your attention.
Professor Ken Katkin has a theory that Condoleeza Rice, and not Barack Obama, was the first acting African American President. I guess that would also make her the first female president too. Sorry Senator Clinton.
But as I said, this is a bit ridiculous at this point. At the end of the day, despite any and all technicalities, Barack Hussein Obama is our President. And I am stoked about that.

This assumes that there must be an acting president at all times. There are other flaws in the argument, not the least of which is Biden taking the oath before noon.
I'd like to propose a new rule: whenever you use "But I just had to..." (or any variant thereof) anywhere in a post or comment, take it as a sign not to post it at all. Ever.
Let's try to stop beating the dead horses. They have feelings, too.
Katkin's theory is patently absurd. If Obama wasn't the President because he didn't have the oath, how could Rice be the President? She didn't take the oath either!
