Er, to be fair here, it was the Chief Justice that flubbed it, which threw Obambi off.

But that's not the start of the flubs. The first flub was when Obama interrupted Roberts early on, forcing the oath to back up to the beginning, and I believe that's what threw off Roberts. After that, they both made more flubs. It just kind of fed on itself.

You are simply wrong. Look, we make ourselves look like fools when you come back, after others have provided the proof that Roberts left out the word “faithfully” in it’s proper place, and have to find something that Obama did wrong. He did not jump in before Roberts finished.

That you must find something to fault Obama with, when the evidence has been presented to you that Roberts goofed, makes you look vindictive, petty, small.

Let go if this. Grow up. There will plenty of legitimate things to fault Obama for. We don’t need to make fools of ourselves.

Okay, I see you are referring to Obama starting to repeat his name when Roberts intended to add another phrase before pausing. Whether that was Roberts fault for pausing too long before continuing or Obama’s for starting to repeat before it was clear whether Roberts was pausing is six of one and a half dozen of the other. They should have both had the phrasing, pausing, established firmly in advance to avoid this sort of problem but from the video it’s not clearly Obama’s fault or Roberts’ fault.

The fact that you cannot simply accept that Roberts flubed the “faithfully” part but simply HAVE to find something to fault Obama with, remains a fact. And it makes you, and by extension it makes us all, look petty and childish.

That didn’t actually happen, but ok.
