My country, ‘tis of thee,

Sweet land of liberty,
hey I know th first vers of this old tune
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

And I also know The pledge of aligence, you know to the flag and et al.
YUP! The fact that our newly elected leader mispoke or did somting “goofy” with his inaguration will mean nothing to the obababites, I’m stuck with the Con myself, if I could offer Obama help in this matter, I’d honestly say go far away, Far Far Away, like where you came from and when you get there STFU.

It’s not a big deal, but there is some schadenfreude involved in teasing libs about it, and in knowing that his big moment was botched.

> It's that important.

If you really believe that, then you'd better go back and demote the memory of some other Presidents who REALLY screwed it up. Look up Herbert Hoover, for example, who substituted entirely different words. The oath as prescribed in the Constitution is of course important, but I don't think repeating the mis-ordering of the words is a big deal.

Obama clearly knew the proper form -- I bet he practiced it a hundred times. So when Roberts bungled it, they both got thrown off.

So what? They got past that, completed the oath, and Obama's now the President.

Get over it. There's much more important stuff coming soon.

It sounded to me like Obama knew Roberts said it wrong and paused to give Roberts a chance to correct himself. After an awkward moment he decided just to go with “repeat after me”.

Trivial.

Obama knew the oath, don't even think he Didn't.

The judge was nervous, and Obama was looking for a correction.

Mountain, Mole-hill.

We have bigger fish to fry.

Gentlemen, Ladies. Let’s all calm down here.
He did not screw up the OATH.

According to the Honorable Feinstein, Chief Justice Roberts was to have President Obama repeat the “Oaff of Office”.

Which after Ms. Feinstein’s remarks I believe went lock, step, and barrel down the path it was meant to go.

There once was a lawyer named “Rex”
Who had very small organs of sex.
When asked of the function,
He said with compunction
“De minimis non curat lex.”

“The law does not concern itself with trifles.”

What threw off Obamas concentration? What was he thinking? I think I know just what words were going through his mind.

My left hand is on fire, must resist, touching bible burns, must fool them, can’t concentrate, will heal by touching Koran later.

Riiiiiight....

I've seen actors flub their lines, brides and grooms mess up their wedding vows (pretty darn important, you know, those wedding vows!), and politicians mess up their speeches.

Not a shocker.

Look, Obama is shallow, worthless, abortion-loving, dangerously inexperienced, and a socialist. There is plenty to dog him over.

But this? You're going to get your knickers into a twist over a word stumble?

I thought we were better than the DU who threw themselves into a frenzy over Bush's verbal trips.

Sigh...

Did you hear anything about an Obama meeting with SCOTUS? There was something about Alito being the only Justice not present.

Is it true? The person who presented this report suggested that the meeting was extremely unusual and improper.

Frankly, at this point I do not know what to believe. The Bush presidents are globalists. So are Bill Clinton and that anti-Semitic peanut farmer. We have descended into lala land when a Barack Obama could become Preident of what has been the greatest nation in history.

Nobody knows much about this guy beyond what he presented to voters. Those who voted for him are either radical leftists who hate America, or brainless products of public education.

I don’t trust Democrats and I don’t trust Republicans. I don’t trust the Courts or the media. I do trust the feeling I have that I have been hosed.

When Pelosi introduce judge Roberts, I was told she mispronounce her words and said “ oaf of office”. Did any body else hear that?

Yes, give him a pass

from what I heard, It was not Obama that flubbed, it sounded more like Obama truied to help, then stopped to let the Chief Justice correct, then a few seconds of awkward silence, then Obama repeated what was said

Didn’t sound to me like it was Obama’s fault at all.

However, it will go down in history as him being part of it. :)

Its not important as being that Obama is ineligible, they could have recited it properly in 115 languages including Klingon and it still would mean nothing except confirm perjury to an usurper.
