Here is the oath. Robeters botched it. Barak was waiting for him to correct himself. Don’t like the O, but this one ain’t on him.

“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.”

No “So help me God”? (I’m not watching, not listening)

[doug from upland]

Did he say “So help me God”?

[Floratina]

That was the second flub. Was the first one on Roberts as well?

[dascallie]

Roberts is freaked out that he is swearing in a fraud in front of the world...it came out in his stumble..amazing.

Maybe Roberts did flub that part. But he wasn't entirely responsible for BHO's flubs. For instance, at the very beginning when Roberts was still saying "... do solemnly swear," BO interrupted him and was speaking at the same time. This apparently threw Roberts off, forcing him to back up a little, and from there on, their mistakes fed off each other and compounded.

The more I replay those few seconds on youtube, the more it appears BO initiated the chain of mistakes by interrupting Roberts at the beginning. So I'm not ready to dump this all on Roberts.
