While one of the words was out of place, he still recited the oath administered by the Chief Justice. There are other legitimate issues to bring, but I don’t think this is one. He can’t be happy about how it went down though ... the historical moment was mildly marred by the confusion.

I used the incident to make my son feel better today. He was nervous about an oral report he has to give in class today. I told him Obama messed up the oath, but he’s still the President. My kids found this quite funny. They noticed the flub when they watched it at school.

Obama messed up the oath

To be nit-picky, it was Roberts who messed up the oath. Obama paused, as if to wait for Roberts to correct himself. Roberts didn't. So Obama repeated the oath as Roberts stated it.
