So let me get this straight. Because Obama was born in Kenya and his mother was not 18, he can't be President.

Because Obama was adopted by an Indonesian and attained Indonesian dual citizenship and never renounced it, he can't be President.

Now, because he didn't say the oath properly, he can't be President?

I guess that would make Obama the most illegitimate President in history.

What you saw yesterday was a ceremonial oath, after what you saw, the President signs the official oath making it legal. A little goof with the ceremonial doesn’t impact anything.

In the grand scheme of things, this sounds like a trifle...

We should keep our powder dry for substantive matters, rather than acting like moonbats over trivialities...

I find it hard to believe no other president in history has slipped up repeating the oath. Is this really what we’ve been reduced to?

So, like, dude, you're saying, that if he'd, you know, been the Green Lantern or something that, like, his power ring wouldn't work, so he's not president?

Yeah, that'll fly.
Oh, no, wait, it won't, no power ring.

The thought of every official act carried out by the president being a nullity is too troubling for words....

That's a fact!

I note "everybody" is blaming Chief Justice Roberts for "flubbing" the Oath. But then, among other things, Chief Justice Roberts recited the (contentious) "So help me God" part inflected as a question. As in: "So help you God???"

If I were a novelist (which I'm not), and needed a pregnant theme for a Washington pot-boiler, I could have a field-day with this....

One plot line that would need to be considered is that Chief Justice Roberts (the fictional character would need a different name) knew exactly what he was doing. And among other things, rather ironically saved BHO (the fictional character would need a different name) from committing the felonious act of perjury in the process....

Thanks for the excellent, informative post, AuH2ORepublican!
