FOR THE RECORD.

Chief Originalist Justice John Roberts, not Barack Obama, flubbed the oath of office, after trying to do it from memory.

-- A. Serwer



COMMENTS

And, of course, Fox News is pointing out that this means Obama isn't really president!

What else would you expect from a shrubie appointee? Someone that could actually do their job? Doubt it.
Once again shrubie and his cronies have embarrassed America. Will it ever end?

Hudging from his decisions, he doesn't seem to know the Constitution in the course of his work on the Court. Why should we expect anything different at inaugurations? Reminds me of the Saturday Night Live gag where the oath of office somehow drifts off into: Crest has been shown to be an effective decay preventing dentifrice....

I'm thinking that since this was Roberts' first administering of the oath of office, he probably just got nervous. After all, Rhenquist did all the Presidential oaths from 1989 until 2005.

Maybe Roberts is an on-again-off-again coke fiend like the guy he was trying to inaugurize. My bet is both dudes are hip deep in the blow these days.

Wow! You need to let the 'flub' go. Doesnt really matter, and shows quite a smallness of mind. Grow up!
