Barack Obama Takes the Oath of Office and Becomes the 44th President of the United States

He cannot repeat a few words that he has probably rehearsed numerous times?!! God help us all. Welcome to Socialism.

"I do solemnly swear total submission to Israel's rule and promise to do everything possible for Jews to keep control of my government, amen."

That sounds more accurate...

It was Roberts who flubbed it, he put the word faithfully in the wrong place, and Obama paused to allow him to correct himself.

well now we have the "oaf of office"...

there were no teleprompters out there, obama just had to repeat, not think, hence there were no "um, er, ah"s

I can't believe he flubbed the oath...

my heart went to the pit of my stomach.

Oh so now you are blaming the Chief Justice for Obama's mistakes. The oath is not changing, its been the oath since the past history ya'll should know this. Nothing against the new President. Just disappointed because he messed up the heart of the program which was the most expensive one.

A womanizer, communist, and hated by his own party??? JFK was all those thing.

Voice Inflection? Roberts misplaced 'faithfully' after Obama prematuraley started. The assumption is Obama's early start led to Roberts subsequent error. But if Roberts 'voice inflection' implied he was stopping, then indeed it was Roberts who started the chain of errors? Whatever. I am a little embarrassed for both men, regardless of whose 'fault' it is.

F**k Chief Justice John Roberts for F**king up the oath, throwing the President off, and messing up this historic moment.

John Roberts: Doofus Of The Year.

hopefully not foreshadowing his terms to come.

It the sign of things to come, holy S**t .

Justice Roberts is the one who screwed up. First mistake - he slipped in "do solemnly swear" after his voice inflection made it appear he was going to hesitate after Obama's name.
Second screw up was all Robert's fault.
Actual words of the oath:
"faithfully execute the office of President of the United States."
Chief Justice version:
"That I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully."
I'm sure Barack had it memorized the right way, thus his hesitation.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He had plenty of time to rehearse this, must of been the paint fumes.

did obama mess up or the other guy?

I believe that President Obama will be the John F. Kennedy that this great nation under God has needed! God Bless The President of the United States of America!
