Biden quips over oath but the boss isn’t laughing

NO JOKE: Barack Obama had to take the presidential oath twice. No, seriously Joe, no joke.

One of the small but memorable moments to emerge from Obama’s first full day in office came when Vice President Joe Biden offered up a quip that did not seem to thrill his new boss. Those who have followed the vice president’s long career as a senator chalked it up to Biden being Biden.

The scene happened when Obama asked Biden to swear in some senior staff members of the new administration.
