Ah come on. Did you see that crowd?? Anyone of us up there wouldn't have been able to even hold our damn hand still, let alone repeat those lines to just about every person on Earth.

That did not take long. Imagine if Bush had done that. You guys would have been all over it.
that goes both ways, always has and always will
the repubs will piss all over themselves playing this as often as possible...had it been Bush, same thing but with the liberals pissing all over themselves...
the one who told the words to him made a paus and obama started repeating, but he wassn't done, not any major fuckup. let's say the speech afterwards kinda made up for....
The guy feeding him the lines, went too fast and unevenly. He memorised the oath and wanted to rush tru it. The Judge swearing Biden in, was reading it and fed the lines more evenly
First he flubbed the line, and then Judge Roberts flubbed it rereading it and then Obama said it a different way, so the line was said 4 different ways in a few seconds lol
Good speech though. The poem after was a bit odd though

The recitation of the presidential oath came in fits and starts.
The Constitution prescribes the text: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
But Chief Justice John Roberts, using no notes, flubbed his lines, and Obama knew it.
First, Obama jumped in before the "do solemnly swear" phrase, which seemed to throw the chief justice off his stride. Roberts rendered the next phrase as "that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully."
"That I will execute," Obama repeated, then paused like a school teacher prompting his student with a slight nod. Roberts took another shot at it: "The off ... faithfully the pres ... the office of President of the United States."
The oath then got more or less back on track after that. Close enough for government work.
Here is the transcript:
ROBERTS: I, Barack Hussein Obama...
OBAMA: I, Barack...
ROBERTS: ... do solemnly swear...
OBAMA: I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear...
ROBERTS: ... that I will execute the office of president to the United States faithfully...
OBAMA: ... that I will execute...
ROBERTS: ... faithfully the office of president of the United States...
OBAMA: ... the office of president of the United States faithfully...
ROBERTS: ... and will to the best of my ability...
OBAMA: ... and will to the best of my ability...
ROBERTS: ... preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
OBAMA: ... preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
ROBERTS: So help you God?
OBAMA: So help me God.
ROBERTS: Congratulations, Mr. President.
