Barack Obama Inauguration — Oath Of Office Blooper

President Barack Obama flubbed the Oath of Office on Inauguration Day, stumbling when attempting to complete the "execute faithfully the office of president of the United States" portion of the swearing-in statement.

If one doesn't take the oath of office they are not president. Learn your constitution! Oh wait, the constitution says natural born citizen and Barry Soetoro has not produced his long form birth certificate, only a certificate of live birth.

I dislike Obama's policies for sure, and the multiple promises he has broken, and the crooked people he is apppointing. I didnt vote for him either. I dont like his wife.
Obama tried to cover for Justice Roberts who messed up.
But there is a real problem with Obama having to use a teleprompter for everything. And there is plenty of evidence to this fact. How can a person with core beliefs not be able to remember what to say.

Did you even watch the inauguration? It was Chief Justice Roberts who flubbed. Don't get so ahead of yourself that you begin reaching for examples of things that don't exist.

I didn't even vote for Obama, but I believe in giving credit where credit is due. AND CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS DESERVES THE CREDIT.

You should remove YOUR flub before you lose YOUR credibility.

Before you try to remove the splinter out of someone else's eye, you need to first remove the plank out of your own...

If you pay attention, it was the Justice who screwed the Oath up, not Obama. The Justice said it wrong, Obama then hesitated because he noticed it was wrong, the justice tried to correct himself, and then Obama went ahead and said it how the Justice first said it.

Also, the constitution does not actually make the Oath very important: The President-Elect becomes President at high Noon on January 20th, even if the formal Oath is not completed.

Please get your facts straight before posting on your blog.

Actually the president did not mess up, he is supposed to repeat exactly what the person swearing him in says, and that man said it wrong, so Obama was trying to hint at him because he knew the correct order but it was fed to him incorrectly.

It was Bush's Supreme court choice tat screwed up and All Obama did was wait for him to fix it and then repeat what he said so he doe not look bad. Even if he does not take the oath of office he is the president at 12:00 on the inaugutation day so who cares?

All I can say is "Don't Roberts Me, Chief!"
