Fox's Chris Wallace asks: Is Obama even president? (screwed up oath!)
L.A. Times ^ | 1/20/09 | Scott Collins

"Well, again, we're wondering here whether or not Barack Obama in fact is the president of the United States," Chris Wallace told Fox News viewers, well over an hour after Obama had taken the oath of office today.

Fox News replayed the swearing-in moment when President Obama and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. each bobbled the words to the constitutional oath. "They had a kind of garbled oath," Wallace said.

"It's just conceivable that this will end up going to the courts," Wallace speculated.

Sure thing Wallace. He isn’t expected to prove he is even eligible to hold office but he’ll go to court over a garbled oath.

I have serious doubts.

So much for the brilliant Harvard lawyer. Of the 44 who have taken the oath of office. He’s the only one who couldn’t spit out the words. Idiot or fraud? YOU DECIDE!

This won’t make the courts. I still believe there is something to this whole passport thing. If Barry had an indonesian passport he traveled on, it’s a whole new ballgame in terms of renounced citizenship.

I didn’t see it - probably choked when he is supposed to say something about “defending the Constitution” or the “so help me God” part.

It was a weird verbal slip, combined with misplacing the word "faithfully" at the end of the sentence. President to the United States Of America, rather than "of."

I didn’t watch the inauguration but I did watch Fox later and heard Wallace’s comments about Obama and the screwed up oath.

Chalk it up to things that make you go, “hmmmmmm”.

Events do seem to be conspiring to keep tweaking suspicions.

Hey guys, Obama is a leftist weasel, and we’ll see the realities of that in the coming months. But c’mon, the flubbing of the “Oath” was due to Justice Roberts screwing it up. He tried to do it from memory, said the words in the wrong order and screwed it up for Obama.

RUSH says Senator Fineswine said Oaf of Office when she read her part and that must have set the stage for the garbled words of the big O. Reminds me of a kindergarten recital...
