VP Joe Biden Apologizes to Chief Justic For Gaffe, Obama Did Not Find It Funny

As we mentioned last week, The President does not find The Vice President as amusing as the rest of us.



From Fox News:

Vice President Biden made his first -- and probably not last -- apology for a joke gone bad, reportedly calling Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to offer a "mea culpa" for cracking wise about Roberts' flubbing the oath of office during President Obama's inauguration.

Every gets to laugh at the Veep....again...from Christian Science Monitor:


You know the joke that Vice President Biden told last week? The one where he publicly made fun of Chief Justice John Roberts? The one that President Obama didn’t laugh at?

Yeah, that one.


Well, the vice president wanted to smooth things over with Justice Roberts so he called him on the phone and apologized. (Perhaps he would have emailed him but the White House email system blew up).

Details of the conversation are slight.
“They spoke and had a good conversation,” a press aide told CNN.

President Obama Takes a "Do Over" Oath of Office Just in Case; Earlier, Biden Mocks Chief Justice

Just to be on the safe side of justice, Chief Justice Roberts visited President Obama today to ensure that we can still come him Mr. President.

But that did not stop Vice President Joe "Foot in Mouth" Biden from inappropriately mocking the Chief Justice.

Take notice how the President puts his hand on Biden's back just after the "My memory is not as good as Chief Justice Roberts", in essence telling him to shut up.

From Fox News:

Some constitutional scholars had suggested that Obama re-take the oath just to be on the safe side. Obama did not substantively change any language on Tuesday, but after Roberts flubbed some of the wording the new president used language different from that prescribed in the Constitution.

The chief justice and the president handled the matter privately in the Map Room on Wednesday night. It took 25 seconds, and when Obama repeated the oath Roberts told him, "Congratulations, again."

Now it's officially official!
