Who Bungled Obama’s Oath?

It was a big day for America, Obama and his family but I can’t help but think after watching Obama take the Oath, that someone planned to make an ass out of him intentionally in front of millions of people and the world.

What are your views on Obama’s bungled Oath?

Who’s fault was it, Obama or Roberts?

They both messed up and it was probably due to anxiousness and nervousness but the thought did run through my mind that there may be a little more than it seems and no I do not apologize for thinking this way in this day and age.

Each president recites the following oath, in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:

“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.”

However Roberts put “faithfully” in the wrong place and Obama knew something in the words was wrong but caught it too late.

Why didn’t Roberts have a written text in front of him to read from, so that it made the moment look more significant and cause him to read the sentence right in the 1st place?  why did he rely solely on memory? especially after he had a recent accident and fell hit his head not too long ago. I just found that to be funny.

Not to make much ado about nothing as it’s old news now but really it did press my buttons to see it not go smooth.

What are your views on this Obama bungle? Who’s fault do you think it is, Obama or Roberts, or nobody’s fault?

Looking at the Youtube video, you can clearly see and hear that Obama spoke over Roberts words in the beginning

probably due to anxiousness, nervousness but Roberts also messed up as he changed the order of words causing

Obama to stop, wait and fumble for the right order of words. Roberts later stated that he messed up.

It’s not extreme to wonder and the thought did run through my mind immediately when it happened. It was perfectly natural for me to think this way in this day and age, so I am not apologizing for being sensitive.

They both messed up alright but in the end Obama took the Oath over again and it went smoothly the 2nd time.

What are your views on this Obama bungle? Who’s fault do you think it is, Obama or Roberts, or nobody’s fault?

Are you sick and tired of hearing about it already? Is it just an overplayed boring topic given too much media attention?

We presently have a BlogCatalog discussion going on about this now old topic titled:

Was Obama’s Oath Purposely Bungled By Internal Enemies?
