The fact that Supreme Chief Justice Roberts cast the deciding vote upholding Obamacare means it is time for another world famous Tatler Photo Caption Contest.
These two leaders have not only made history this week with the Affordable Care Act ruling but they also have a very interesting personal history.
First, in 2005 then Senator Obama voted against the Supreme Court nomination of John Roberts.
Second, in 2009 at Obama’s inauguration Roberts garbled a few words of the presidential oath while administering it to Obama.
Our caption contest photo is that of Roberts’ issuing the presidential oath again the next day, to President Obama in the White House Map Room.
Surely, this was an omen of future history to be made that has now been fulfilled with Roberts’ surprise ruling, one that many are saying has saved Obama’s presidency.
(However, this writer disagrees with that sentiment.)
Now, the only rule of this new contest is to BE NICE and follow the PJM Guidelines for comment submissions because, as noted in our last photo caption contest winner’s post, there is a certain reporter at Politico who actually reads and writes about our photo caption contests. Therefore, we must not give him any reason to poke fun at all our passionate, highly educated, and amazingly creative Tatler readers.
The winner of this photo caption contest will receive absolutely nothing except accolades in the winner’s post, which of course are priceless.
Good luck and stay classy!
President Obama: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability (and we know how astronomically great that is), preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Except when I don’t feel like it.”
Justice Roberts: “Sounds good to me. Let me know how I can help.”
This is the LAST time I perform a do-over to provide the appearance of legitimacy to you.
You are winning so far!
Which one says this …?
Roberts.

“Do you solemnly swear (or affirm) that you will faithfully execute, demonize & destroy anyone who opposes you in the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of your ability, forsake, disregard and offend the Constitution of the United States? Congratulations, Mr. President, and don’t worry about all that Marbury v. Madison stuff.”

Not very funny, but that was my first thought.
Brown shirt under the robe?
“Greetings collectivist comrade.”
“Permission to come aboard, Mr. President.”
“Live longer and prosper.”
Do you swear to tell the truth and defend liberty?
Yes.
Do you swear to uphold the Constitution?
Sometimes.
Do you swear to follow me in creating legislation out of thin air?
