One would think someone as ambitious as Obama would have committed the oath to memory. Come on, the man was a “constitutional law scholar.” Believe me, Bill Clinton had it memorized.

Obama DID have the oath memorized. That's why he recognized that Roberts got it wrong, and waited for him to correct himself before proceeding. (Watch it again, if you don't believe me.)

Yeah, thanks...give us a call when you're elected president. I was talking about a family with no Bibles.

Not “My fellow Americans”, but “My fellow Citizens”. How so Marxist!

Oh — wait -— is O an American?

I guess I don’t think that is a big deal. I’m more concerned about what he really thinks than whether he has a family Bible.

I’m sure Jimmy Carter had a family Bible, and he was a total disaster.

Okay, I looked it up. roberts put faithfully at the end, it is suppose to be in a different place, Obama blanked, and Obama ends up putting it at the end like Roberts quoted it.

So does that mean he is not official sworn in?? ;-)

I did watch it again, there were 3 mistakes.

Obama jumped in too fast on the first line at :40. Then Roberts put faithfully in wrong spot starting at :47. Then Obama mumbles “And will to...best” at 1:00 instead of “And will to the best”.

Whatever, it is trivia in any event.

As for the speech, I suspect that there are some folks laughing in Teheran.

I have hope that we will defeat our enemies. I don’t live in fear of them.

Fear is like worrying it doesn’t really do you any good.

I am going to rewatch the “Reign of Terror” in which Citizen Robespierre addresses the Assembly in Revolutionary France.

Obama interrupted the Chief Justice, this set off a chain of stumblings.

and maybe Roberts inner conscience was bothering him about swearing in a fraud.

I’m listening to Rush analyze the O’s speech -— and what a bust it was. Isn’t this the great author who wrote the book of the century “Dreams of My Father”?

Oh wait — wasn’t that book ghost written?

"Not “My fellow Americans”, but “My fellow Citizens”."

Yeah, I picked up on that, too.

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, well that was boring. Nice to know he is going to save the world(meaning we do with less so he can send our tax dollars to Kenya, his birthplace)

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.

The part about the demand for goods and services not having changed recently sounded a lot like a President Jack Ryan speech in Tom Clancy’s “Debt of Honor”.
