Obama made the first mistake, he jumped in early when Roberts said “I, BHO, do solemnly swear”. He jumped in after BHO. Roberts had to restart, and he seemed to get off track. Surprising that Roberts could screw up like that. I know it by heart just from watching lots of history channel.
Wow! Then obama screwed up twice if he walked on Justice Roberts lines...’cause after Justice Roberts misplaced the word ‘faithfully’...obama paused, Justice Roberts repeated the line corrected. However, obama went back and said it as Justice Roberts first said it.
Yeah, it seems BO’s blunder tripped up Roberts. He interrupted the flow of the oath.
It sounded to me that Roberts didn’t take the traditional swearing-in-rhythm, and it sounded confusing. I don’t get trying to make political hay out of this anyway. It was smart of them to redo it since this is the only oath with exact wording as prescribed by the Constitution.
