Holy shit - fucked up the oath!
 

That screwup is going to be played 100s of times over the next few days

:1orglaugh

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.

missed it - what was the fuck up?

He's just trying to rain on our parade, don't pay him any mind.

I DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR .. TO.... TO... TO FUCK UP THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS

:1orglaugh

Roberts paused, then continued after Obama started to repeat it.. sheesh what a bonehead move. It's only like 10 words.

no it wont.but you will see alot of joe bidens wifes legs:winkwink:

is that a chopped pic on your avatar?

That did not take long. Imagine if Bush had done that. You guys would have been all over it.

:2 cents:

Nobodies perfect, not even Obama. Give the guy a fucking break. :2 cents:

I have a feeling we're going to be hearing this a lot over the next four years.

At least Bush knew how to put muslims in their place.

None of this extend a hand shit :mad:

Yeah give the guy a break... we all remember Bush got away with every gaff he made, can't have double standards now can we ? ;)

All anyone is gonna remember is this speech

He killed the speech though so who cares?

Bush's speech screw ups are getting to be pretty cliche at this point.

mistakes are made negro in charge accept your leader:thumbsup

the sky is falling down

Laugh.... who cares.. he the most powerful man on the planet and if he wants to fuck it up.. he can.

They should of had a telepromter I guess... lol

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....

if that happend to Bush he would have cracked a sour joke to the crowd and made an ass of himself:2 cents:

Poet needs another joint :1orglaugh

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:2 cents:

Not sure what news reports you get over there, but he "got away" with his.

Congrats, only nine posts and you have already made yourself known.

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

Touché!!!

Who the fuck let the Poet on the stage?

Poem sucked :2 cents:

Actually it was Roberts who fucked it up.

Was being sarcastic.

Bush was crucified by everyone for anything he stuffed up, especially here on GFY. The media is already making excuses for him.

Wonder how long Obama's honeymoon period will be?

According to ABC just now, it wasn't Obama's fault, they flip-flopped some of the words.

they did just funny watching some of these replies in the thread.....

The poem was just a sleep inducing too-slow paced thing.. maybe it was good, I really couldnt tell ya.

And yeah, Roberts paused, Obama began speaking, then Roberts continued.. oop.

The same guy that's gonna fuck America up for the next 4 years. :2 cents:

LOL, Bush has fucked up one too many speechs for it to even matter anymore
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

that was his black side, dont worry the white side of him will do most of the work to make up for it.

Maybe Roberts should have practiced more. I love the way he made Obama say Hussain instead of H. What an ass.

Yeah, I noticed Biden said his middle initial but Obama said Hussein.. great speech amidst the flubups

These are too funny. :1orglaugh

I, for one, accept my new black overlord.

HALF black

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.

Ever cross your mind that he wanted it that way?

No big deal.......

Intresting how guy who was announcing people said Barack H.Obama instead Hussein.

i think he is on shrooms

Yeah, but instead it's "Oh, give the guy a break!" :1orglaugh

Of course, maybe lower expectations are in order
