"But I believe that Justice Roberts may have forgotten a portion of the Presidential oath" [snip]
"On Fox they just said that they don't think he is legally sworn in. The words weren't right according to the Constitution" [snip]
"Fox did indeed say they thought there was a problem with Justice Roberts version of what he was supposed to say....Intentional maybe????"

Has anyone else heard this, or something along these lines? Looking for additional resources and confirmation as well...
I pounced on the errors as soon as they were uttered!
It was Obama’s fault. Since Obama is supposed to be perfect, he screwed up.
According to the Costitution, the President-Elect officially becomes the President at noon. The oath is just a formality.
No, it was not intentional. Lighten up.
I think the Chief Justice phrased it a little awkwardly. Can’t entirely fault Obama for faltering. The sentence began with “Execute the office...” and Barry may have been waiting for the CJ to correct himself.
lol. um, yeeaaahhh. wonderful.
Yeah yeah that’s it. That and the birth certificate thing. That’ll do it.
I think the sirens, which could be heard because the crowd was hushed, might have distracted them.
“Can’t entirely fault Obama for faltering.”
But everyone will accuse Chief Justice Roberts for intentionally making an error. Obama faltered. It MADE AN ERROR. IT IS HIS RESPONSIBILITY. HE IS IN CHARGE. There I feel better.
I am afraid it was a matter of conscience and clearly not a matter of malice.
The ‘messiah’ NEVER makes mistakes. You should know that by now. Off to the re-education camp with you! /s
“...Intentional maybe????”
What a dumba$$ post.
I heard Oaf, not Oath.
It went down hill from there.
I am a poet and do not know it..
Obama did well in trying to re-phase the language back toward what it should have been. I am sure it is an awkward moment for the Chief Justice and prehaps we can make it more awkward and embarrasing if we and other news sites can post endless threads about the existential and nitpicking aspects of it.
When I heard it, it sounded like Obama was nervous and made the mistake. But here’s the video. The rest of you might know more about who was in error:

Best part was Roberts asking O if he wanted to add
So help me God.
Obama is illigitimate, oath or not.
No one cares is he’s not a citizen, no one will surely care if he put the word faithfully at the end of the sentence.
What...you going to allow a minor thing like The Constitution to get in the way of Hope and Change? You must be an un-American, racist, right-wing, nut job still clinging to your guns and religion.
