Obama's Private Swearing-In

Betcha didn't know that the President is having a private swearing-in ceremony at his second inauguration and the press isn't invited. There is some precedent in terms of a private swearing-in ceremony, Ronald Reagan for instance, but the press was there. Even Chuck Todd, NBC's White House correspondent, is dumbfounded:

" 'I'm stunned that this is even an issue; it boggles the mind," NBC News White House correspondent Chuck Todd told POLITICO. 'This is not their oath, this is the constitutional oath. It's not for them. It's for the public, the citizens of the United Sates. It just boggles the mind. How is this even a debate?' "

Chuck, Chuck, Chuck! How could you guys in the media have ever known Obama was like this? I mean just because he has always acted like Il Duce - who could have guessed that he would do something like this? I can hardly wait until the decrees start coming down.
