LMAO!
Bush’s fault!...LOL...not anymore.
God Bless GWB.
Thank you, yes. I did forget about the 20th.
Looks like Obama got as far as, “That I will execute”, and Obama’s memory just went blank! Roberts then trying to help him along may have caused Hussein to screw up more!
I just got back from the gun shop .. got some more ammo .. stopped at my local and got some cigs and alcohol ... and on the way home I pondered this.
There's a movie I highly recommebd, a musical titled "1776", and in it, Adams and Jefferson got into it regarding the wording of INalienable right and UNalienable right, with Jefferson concluding, "I wrote it, and it will stay as I wrote it"
Now ... I'm no grammarian, but .. is there a reason that Roberts might have been pondering the position of the word "faithfully" ?
If Roberts had been thinking of the grammatical structure, and perhaps even argued within himself that the word should be at the end of the sentence, THAT might account for his flubbing of the oath.
Anyway ... my gun is cleaned and I'll pull a few off out my back door, smoking a cigarette and will come back in, put on the sci-fi channel and drink myself to sleep.
Obviously it had to be Roberts’ fault - Obama is faultless.
Obama’s fault
Watched him sign some paperwork at a table, he tried to stand up and leave before he was done, then tried to give the pen back twice as the third document came in to be signed. Then he set the pen down and started to close the document as he handed it back, then handed back the pen. Folded his hands, then got up to leave. Complete flubber. Everyone else in the room, including Biden, were fine.
That's how it sounded to me, too, when I first listened to the oath on TV. Then someone here on FR pointed out the placement of the word "faithfully". That's why I looked further for the video and the oath. (Maybe Fox changed the headline in the link later, too, after more checking?) But, we can look at it either way. It would be fun to suppose Roberts tripped him up on purpose, a payback for that vote against his confirmation (lol).
could of used the ‘Blazing Saddles’ welcome of “A laurel and hearty handshake for our new .... president.”
hate to rain on the parade,but the oath is only a formality.the Constitutionstates the new Prez becomes Prez at noon.

OK I think we got it. LOL
And after you pounced....then what?
I started researching the Oath of Office.
I would have guessed that you injured the fur trapper.
And then
In a fit of anger
I pounced
And I pounced again
Great googly moogly!
I jumped up and down on the chest of him
I injured
The fur trapper

just like Nomad on Star Trek. He did not correct his error, he has made 2 errors...”analyze.....error....”
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.

Well said.
The drugs had kicked in with a vengence ... but he remianed calm don’tchaknow!
From our Constitution (Article II, Section 1)
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—”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.”
Even old LBJ took the oath on the plane following Kennedy's death. Why take the oath so quickly if it is irrelevant?
