I think it's "Cravatu Barack-O Necktie"...

The presidential oath of office should be re-administered to Barack Obama because of his flub during Tuesday’s swearing-in ceremony, legal experts say.
Because of a mistake by Chief Justice John Roberts, Obama transposed one of the words in the oath. He should have said he will “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,” but instead repeated Roberts’ cue and said he will “execute the Office of President of the United States faithfully.”
Josh White of the Washington Post noted: “The presidential oath of office is required of a new president before he can execute his power, and the Constitution is clear that its 35 words must be spoken exactly.”
Jonathan Turley, a professor of constitutional law at George Washington University, told the Post: “He should probably go ahead and take the oath again. If he doesn’t, there are going to be people who for the next four years are going to argue that he didn’t meet the constitutional standard.”
And Charles Cooper, head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel under President Ronald Reagan, said an incorrect recitation of

We have a president who won’t show us his real birth certificate and has all his school records sealed. So much for transparency in this administration.

Got the reference, your screen name also helped.
“Definitely an N-word!”
“So help you, God?”
“So help me, God.”
This was my read:
Obama jumped the gun early, which confused Roberts. Roberts then put “faithfully” in the wrong spot. This confused Obama. Roberts then corrected himself by putting “faithfully” back in the right spot, but Obama recited it the way Roberts originally said it. They both made mistakes, and their errors compounded the confusion.
The Constitution, specifically prevents Sen. Clinton from being Secretary of State as well. It says you cannot vote a raise for one office then assume or be appointed to that office — However, all of our elected representatives swearing a oath to uphold, support and defend the Constitution will vote her in anyway.
Our Constitution in now a document used in Washington DC.
No wonder the rest of the world gets a negative opinion of America.
Don't get me wrong, they want to live in America. But not because they 'like' the attitude of the American people. They do like 'what' we have.
It's sad that we are (in general) the spoiled, naive, easily-duped society that can be led around by a gold ring through it's nose.
Oh well, I guess we’re just trying to think of anything to make his presidency illegitimate!! And, by the way, congrats on the Gator win! GREAT game!!!!!
You know what?
It would have been 'funnier' if he had left out two words.

Why? His first oath was illegal anyway. Two wrongs in this case two swearing of oaths don’t make a right.
Yes, they are. Perhaps we should keep a list and alert each other when a new 'bait' thread shows up.
Besides, no one will remember it happened in two weeks. Barry is a master at stumbling in a conversation. There will likely be so many such mis-speaks that no one will even care any more.
Unfortunately, you're right
I am sure Barry likes it this way - he cannot legally be bound to the Oath.
“I thought he became president at noon on Jan 20 — the oath does not really mean anything”
I think they are having problems with that knat and camel thing again.
Sure, with their wives.
LMAO!!!
Bruce Campbell cracks me up!
He’s great in ‘Burn Notice’.
They just shoulda started over.
