Obama didn’t mess up the oath, Roberts did
Who else can honestly say they wouldn’t mess up the oath of office? Props to Obama for showing everyone that we are all only human.
I thought this same thought, but then I read the following on Talking Points Memo:
Roberts started the oath. Obama went a little more quickly than he’d anticipated. And then in the second stage of the oath Roberts got the words wrong. Instead of “I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States” he said “I will execute the office of President of the United States faithfully …”
Obama starts to repeat but realizes that Roberts has garbled the words (he’s probably thinking, “Dude, this is a big moment for me. Can you try that again?”) and then he lets Roberts say it again. After that it was a bit bumpy but they got through it.
The video of it confirms it. But either way, no big deal
