WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will take the oath of office for the third, fourth and final time this weekend during an inauguration celebration that kicks off his second term in a more muted tone than his historic swearing-in four years ago.
This time around, there is a less festive inauguration.
On Sunday, following a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, Obama will be sworn in officially at the White House at 11:55 a.m. EST (1655 GMT), meeting the constitutional requirement that he do so on Jan. 20. That portion will be private - except for a media presence - with a small audience of mostly family members.
Obama repeats the procedure on Monday during a public ceremony at the U.S. Capitol.
Both times he will be sworn in by Supreme Court Justice John Roberts who, in 2009 after flubbing the oath the first time, administered it to Obama again in the White House the day after his inauguration. The president's two recitations this year will be the third and fourth time he has taken the oath.
It will be only the second time he has made an inaugural address, however, and millions worldwide will be watching. Some 800,000 people are expected to flock to Washington for the event, down from a record 1.8 million in 2009.You can still go! lol

Aldebaran, "The Eye of Illumination" Aldebaran, the brightest star in the constellation Taurus the Bull, rises in the fall at sunset, and is the thirteenth brightest star in the sky. Its name comes from the Arabic Al Dabaran, the Follower, because Aldebaran appears to follow the Pleiades through the night sky. As the Eye of the Bull, Aldebaran is called the Eye of Revelation. It is referred to by astronomers and cosmologists as the Eastern Royal Star, one of the four Royal Stars considered the sentinels watching over other stars. It is also known as the Buddha’s star, the Star of Illumination, and God’s Eye. This magnificent star has been used for centuries in navigation, and is known by many civilizations to be connected with the spirits of rain and the fertility of the earth. Approximately 5,000 years ago, the rising of Aldebaran marked the vernal equinox (1) and marked the beginning of the Babylonian new year. Taurus is often associated with royalty and divine power. Throughout the ages Aldebaran has been spiritually recognized for its alignment with divinity. "... there is a symbolic relation between Aldebaran, the "eye" in the head of the Bull; the third eye, or the light in the head, and the diamond. The consciousness of the Buddha has been called the 'diamond-eye.'"
;D The Hindus referred to Aldebaran and Taurus as Rohini (the Red Deer), the name of the river in Nepal where the Buddha was born at the time of the May full moon, around 563 BCE. Another Hindu name for Aldebaran is Sataves, which translates to the "leader of the western stars."www.souledout.org/cosmology/highlights/aldebaran.htmlSharing everywhere in the prominence given to its constellation, this was especially the case in Babylonian astronomy, where it marked the 5th ecliptic asterism Pidnu-sha-Shame, the Furrow of Heaven, perhaps representing the whole zodiac, and analogous to the Hebrew and Arabic Padan and Fadan, the Furrow. So that, before the Ram had taken the Bull's place as Leader of the Signs, Aldebaran was Ku, I-ku, or I-ku-u, the Leading Star of Stars. Still more anciently it was the Akkadian Gis-da, also rendered the "Furrow of Heaven"; and Dil-gan, the Messenger of Light, — this, as we have seen, being applied to Hamal, Capella, Wega (Vega), and perhaps to other bright stars, as their positions changed with respect to the equinox. In the same way the Syriac word Iyutha, which we have seen for the star Capella, seems to have been used also for Aldebaran. ;Dlol

I guess we're all on the bus whether we like it or not. "the magick starts to work"Galactic Messages Of Light - Manuscript Of Survival Part 256 January 21 2013www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8DCS86KniA"For what is time now? Certainly not the one defining measurement it once was. And with the dissolving of this trusted marker, so too much else will start to take on a rather interesting 'hue' - to call it that. For now, nothing that surrounds you can be seen through the goggles of yesterday... "

www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/james-taylor-sings-america-the-beautiful-at-inauguration-20130121by the way..... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_the_BeautifulWard had originally written the music, Materna, for the hymn O Mother dear, Jerusalem in 1882, though it was not first published until 1892.[1] Ward's music combined with the Bates poem was first published in 1910 and titled America the Beautiful.MaternaO mother dear, Jerusalem, when shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end, thy joys when shall I see? O happy harbor of the saints! O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, no grief, no care, no toil. No murky cloud o'ershadows thee, nor gloom, nor darksome night; but every soul shines as the sun, for God Himself gives light. there lust and lucre cannot dwell, there envy bears no sway; there is no hunger, heat, nor cold, but pleasure every way. Thy gardens and thy gallant walks continually are green; there grow such sweet and pleasant flow'rs, as nowhere else are seen; quite through the streets, with silver sound, the flood of life doth flow, upon whose banks on every side, the wood of life doth grow. There trees forevermore bear fruit, and evermore do spring, there evermore the angels sit, and evermore do sing. Jerusalem, my happy home, would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end, thy joys that I might see!

So, what you'll soon see is that the Heart is somewhere out where the North and South Altantic Oceans meet, at the Equator equator (n.) late 14c., from Medieval Latin aequator diei et noctis " equalizer of day and night" ( when the sun is on the celestial equator, twice annually, day and night are of equal length), agent noun from Latin aequare "make equal" (see equate). Sense of "celestial equator" is earliest, extension to "terrestrial line midway between the poles" first recorded in English 1610s. equate (v.) early 15c., from Latin aequatus "level, levelled, even," pp. of aequare "make even or uniform, make equal," from aequus "level, even, equal" When the love you take is equal to the love you make, it's the End ah-ahhhhhh Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah

from the comments:"Act of 1871" the 41st Congress modified our Original "Constitution FOR a United States" to it's current form, "CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES." In other words, they manage us just like any other corporate asset, because that's what we are. Every government agency/official is simply a part of our corporate structure. ---------------------------------You Have NO BUSINESS, Being President ! from 1mYourGh0stwww.youtube.com/watch?v=DSvnlezCyWQI presume that the Keith Obermann comments were taken from when George W Bush was president.

I think that the "Pledge of Allegiance" needs to be changed. One thing, "and to the republic"....aren't we supposed to be a democracy not a republic? One nation...under God (god) which god??? With liberty??? Really? they want our guns, they want our money.....justice for all? Really? And those "colors"...masonic....and the hand over the heart, again masonic...making a pledge of allegiance...just sounds rather strange in this day and age.
