You heard wrong. In fact he did bungle the swearing in the first time around. Guy is supposed to be smart, but cannot do the repeat after me? And it is a FACT that the following day he officially swore in, and only allowed the presence of one Justice. No press. None of this is on accident.

Doesn’t matter a damn to me...I don't plan to turn my TV on that day at all...

I know he was sworn in a second time but I don’t see a koran.

I don’t see a Bible, either.

Even Biden got his oath right.

He did 'repeat after me' the first time. Chief Justice Roberts bungled the Constitutional wording of the swearing in twice.

The oath (in pertinent part) is:

"that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States."

Roberts rearranged the order of the words, saying:

"that I will execute the office of president of the United States faithfully."

Obama began to repeat but stopped at the word"execute."

Roberts then said:

"that I will faithfully the office of president of the United States,"

leaving out "execute."

Obama then repeated:

"that I will execute the office of president of the United States faithfully."

That repeated Roberts' original mistake as to the placement of the word "faithfully."
