Late Show - Brian Williams on Obama's Botched Oath of Office

[Paladin1warrior]

@JimboUSofA I agree stimulus and deficit spending failed under Bush. So when Obama does it to a greater extent doesn't that make him a bigger retard?

"Are we gonna faithfully execute or what? Don't make me smack you with this hand." That made me do a spittake. Well done, BriWi. Well done.

[euro944t]

"CIA is sparking coups across mid east, come on I can't get to work in less than 3hrs with public transit run by gov't, look.......You're NOT one of those WTC7'ers Dave?"

Dave got pissed "I don't appreciate that remark of WTC7, lumping me in"

Dave asked Rummy if CIA is overthrowing regimes and was stonewalled with a simple "NO"

Dave is on to the scams, he is asking real questions and is skeptical about Obama's B-Certificate after voting for him

[davie12]

Brilliant.

Ya can tell a Harvard man anything, but ya can't tell em much. philipnute com

[couscous781]

Most Laid Back I've Ever Seen Brian

[bibliophile927]

@couscous781 you should check him out on the daily show then

[quirpco]

Whoa - @ 2:36 it sounded like Letterman was cruisin' toward another bypass!

[DenoJoe2Def]

You're saying Bush stumbled words because he was under pressure. That's like saying I blow fart bubbles everywhere I go. My girlfriend makes me nervous, she is super hot and I'm out of my league. Most people see us and wonder, "she feels sorry for him" "he's in way over his head." But I think if I "pretend" no heard or smelled my fart pipe maybe it went somwhere far away like Russia. lmao

[dictatorpants]

When Letterman laughs, he sounds like my drunken uncles when they start to laugh, but then end up coughing. Brian is great.

[PacmanBonez]

blah blah, mainstream distraction

[netdoctor1]

Isn't it amazing how FUNNY it was for a liberal night show host to mock a Republican president; and yet treat the Democratic candidate like royalty? Is hypocrisy even considered to be a bad thing anymore? If a President reads well from a teleprompter...does that somehow make him superior to one that stumbles on his words when he is under pressure? Is there any significance to the fact that they are his own words, and not someone else's speech he's reading?

[gameloverboy16]

zazeify the title doesn't say that Obama botched the oath. It says Obama's botched oath of office. Regardless of who botched it, it is still Obama's oath of office. Just setting things straight here.

[zazeify]

Obama didn't "botch" the oath.

The right-wing moron that George W. Bush put in for Chief Justice botched the oath.

Just setting things straight, here.

[BikersFromIreland]

CONCLUSION: Want to waste your time with TIGER WOODS, ACTORS, ACTRESSES, NEW SITINGS OF ELVIS, AND MICHAEL JACKSON, what new movies are coming out. Stupid reality people and what they are doing, instead of reporting REAL NEWS that will help the American people for the major crisis that is coming. Listen to Gerald Celente on trends research, and the internet. Type in depression, economy, WW3 on the internet for the REAL NEWS. You WONT get in on TV from these lying TV ANCHOR bastards.

[BikersFromIreland]

Don't LISTEN TO BRIAN WILLIAMS, and other millionaire TV anchor people. There all lying to the American people about the economy because were heading for a Great Depression 2010. They will lie because they are controlled by the Government. Besides they don't care about you and me, only themselves. 2010 is going to be a CRASH YEAR, POSSIBLE WW3, Dollar down by 30-40%, increase in terrorism. These jackasses on ABC, CBS, FOXNEWS, MSNBC, CNN, CNBC.

[blahblah0614]

bahahaha...i love brian williams

[WmBurroughsTomato]

It's amazing to find so many sycophants groveling over this PHONY NEWSMAN who faithfully serves the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL complex of DEATH. BRIAN WILLIAMS is a GLOBALIST shill. He was seen in a LIMO last year attending the BILDERBERG PEDOPHILE meeting. To those of you who adore this FRAUD you're going to pay dearly for your IGNORANCE.

[peteykkk]

Rahm still has a big problem in Chicago. Resko has been convicted a long time ago but still not sentenced. He is telling the prosecutor, Fitzgerald, everything to get a lighter sentence. Blago and Rahm Emanuel are the main conspirators. When it does break, it goes all the way to Obama. And its gonna be earth shattering!

[rugerman3114]

yes brian. its a conspiracy by the illunatti and fremasons against obama. yes mr williams we will drink the kool'aid . when do i get my 3'd glasses. mr williams.

[tecnohunk]

Um...I heard that CJ Roberts deliberately fudged it because CJ Roberts didnt want to abet in a constitutionally illegal procedure.

[Yunginspirit]

I can't believe that Brian Williams actually "bowed" to Prez Obama this week when Brian left the white house! Does he think that Obammy is GOD?...or sumthin'? What a starstruck dummy!

[arslp]

Brian Williams is the poster child for kiss-ups (in my attempts to not speak ugly). Perhaps that is why NBC - National Barack Channel is having such low ratings. Both are despicable.

[franntastic]

Additionally, Mr. Williams, to tell the unvarnished truth - and you might want to acquaint yourself with the process - the U of C Law School Web site states Obama was a Lecturer and a Senior Lecturer. Though offered a tenure track, which he declined, he served as a professor but he was not a Professor. It's analogous to a Certificate of Live Birth not being the same as a Birth Certificate. The truth is the truth regardless of whether or not it suits your needs.

[franntastic]

Brian Williams is such a smug elitist turd, i.e. "When I get together with fellow community college students, we don't discuss it." Mr. Williams, you went to Brookdale Community College or as we called it Lincroft U. You then transferred to Catholic U and GWU, never obtaining a degree. All that so you could go to work in the Carter administration. I guess we all know to what you bow down and how low.

[Reavelt]

Wow, Brian is hysterical while Obama is bringing down the country. None of these "newsmen" have any credibility anymore. Now that I have seen Brian bow before Obama, that says it all. He regards Obama as king of the U.S.

[ministerzel]

So funny...I had no idea that Williams was such a comic!

PS..Assization (interesting choice of names - I'd be careful if I were you...the Secret Service looks at these sites, too)...in response to your comment about who cares about Obama...the majority of Americans who voted him in office care. That's who. If you love the Constitution, at least be respectful of the results of a free election (the Supreme Court didn't decide this one).

[Assization]

Who gives a shit about Obama

[PORTUGAL1010]

Lefty Loony Losers are the biggest suck asses. IF it was BUSH II that did this instead of BUSH III (O'Bushama) we would still be hearing about it today.

LIE-berals alwasy come up with a BS excuse for everthing.

Kerry -No education, stuck in Iraq- BOTCHED JOKE

O'Bushama- 57-60 states Just Tired.

Geithner - Tax Cheating. Honest Mistake, Just a HICCUP

FAILOUTS= Stimulus

95% WON'T Pay TAXES: Hard to pay taxes when UNEMPLOYED

The BaWRECK Obamerica has started.

BO Got NBC? see: wnd. com

[truthforamerica]

Brian Williams is a liberal hack.

[obamaayers]

2 Obama suckasses on together,priceless. Brian Williams even bowed down before Obama like he was our king lol. These idiots are out of control

[moogoogourami]

Just eats you alive, from the inside out, doesn't it?!

[GoldBanks60]

hahahahahaha. I love brian williams. But this comment you made is very funny. I couldnt stop laughing. Where did you see brian williams bowing to obama?

[NewDirection4us]

If Roberts did it as retaliation for Obama voting against him then it shows how shallow and petty Roberts is. If Roberts did it by mistake then it shows he's incompetent to do even the most simple duty of his office. Either way, Roberts looked like a boob. Obama handled it well.

[ragnarok9899]

I fucking love Brian Williams.

[audball911]

He "wung" it? LOL...nice. =P

[OhioDemocrat]

The Founding Fathers made a lot thing idiot proof, other things, not so much.

[AcomsRazor1776]

Nothing is idiot proof as long as you have a talented enough idiot!

[richlisagood]

The most astounding and laughable assertion that Williams made was that Obama was lucky to be taking office now rather than when poor Bush had to take over. OMFG!!!!!!! Bush took over a happy, economically sound country at peace and with the largest surplus in our history.

[richlisagood]

He then proceeded to turn this country along with most of the world into a depressing, total disaster of epic proportions.  This country is barely recognizable -- No new President has ever been saddled with such an unholy depraved mess as Bushco has left this country with. Williams is either deluded or just hopes the rest of us are.

[IdOntWaNnAdOiTaLoNe]

I'm neither a huge Bush fan, but you can't blame this whole dilemma on one person. Every decision & every landmark that Bush & the american government have sought to apply to american standards have been chosen because they fundamentally seemed like the logical, most-reasonable choice available. And granting that most people would have ultimately chosen these same decisions, basically rules out the fact completely that international poverty is Bush's fault. It's simply nature taking it's course.

[AcomsRazor1776]

My favorite bush bash is the whole Hurricane Katrina ordeal. Bush gets all the blame even though the Governor of Louis. and the MAyor of New orleans ( the very people charged with responsibility and safety of their state and city, who did jack shit by the way) come out blame free!

[PORTUGAL1010]

New Orleans is the MURDER CAPITAL of USA.

I wonder if BUSH is to blame for that one or will O'Bushama (Bush's 3rd Term on STEROIDS) get blame.

We know the Erosionist LIE-beral Lefty Loony Losers in a HUGE MAJORITY in New Orleans WILL NEVER BE BLAMED they will just keep the Welfare State going and keep on getting elected.

When will people in New Orleans and major cities wake up and get rid of these LIE-beral Corrupt Incompetents that just Grow Misery and BLIGHT?

BO Got NBC? See wnd. com

[netdoctor1]

@AcomsRazor1776 (/sarcasm on) Um...GWB caused Hurrican Katrina; where have you been? it was ALL his fault (/sarcasm off) He was the only one left to face those charges directly and answer to them, rather than deflect them upward or laterally. Imagine... the President of the United States getting blamed for causing a hurricane, and then accused of wanting blacks to suffer because of it. ("Focus on me...I'm a victim here!!") That is from the center page of the Liberal playbook, staples and all.

[christiv3]

I believe Williams said that WE (the American People) are lucky to have Obama taking over now. Bush screwed up a good economy, can you imagine what he would do to an already shaky one.

[AcomsRazor1776]

How old are? Funny how everyone likes to convieniently forget the Jimmy Carter years. You think the Economy is bad now. Just look at carters time in office.

[iamthegame420va]

Yeah, Chief Justice Roberts moved one word around and totally threw off our new "god-king." However, Obama goofed first by cutting off the Chief Justice when it came to his name. I understand how the one word threw him off. He's so used to memorizing sound bites, catchphrases and speeches that I guess he can't repeat what another man says word for word without memorization.

[IHS7]

Don' t drink the "Haterade"

[iamthegame420va]

I'm not hatin, just pointing something out. The liberal media wants to blame everything on Roberts when Obama goofed as well.

[christiv3]

First, Obama started speaking exactly where all other presidents started speaking when they took the oath.

Second, if this is all it takes to rattle the Chief Justice into forgetting what the Constitution actually says, maybe he is not the right man for the job.

[iamthegame420va]

If this man is the "god-king" that you all think he is, why couldn't he repeat the Chief Justice word for word instead of standing there with a blank look on his face.

[NShutterbug]

He was not standing there with a blank look - he was patiently giving Roberts a chance to get it right. Did you not see Roberts try to correct himself?

[iamthegame420va]

He should have repeated it back as said. The Constitution has an outline that has been followed almost exactly but it can be said different. In fact, the "so help me God" part is not in the Constitution but has been said anyway. The moving of one word didn't negate what the oath means.

[JimboUSofA]

So Obama should've covered up for this dumbfuck Republican Supreme Court justice is what you're saying.

Typical Republican "logic" - big name Republican fucks up, no name Republican blames it on a Democrat.

Same as it ever was.

[Paladin1warrior]

@JimboUSofA Obama didn't know how to react without a teleprompter. Republicans are way smarter than any liberal who thinks we need to print money worthless.

[christiv3]

It was a game of "who knows the Constitution better".... Obama, as a former law professor, was giving this supposed Constitutional whiz kid every opportunity to prove the largest audience ever that he knew his stuff. Roberts messed up his one big moment. Obama will have an endless amount of moments to prove his knowledge and didn't need to prove anything that day.

[iamthegame420va]

I'm not saying Obama has anything to prove, just that one misplaced word threw him entirely off because it wasn't what he memorized. Also, Roberts has more time to prove his knowledge of the Constitution since his job is for life.

[christiv3]

Sad but true, the average person in America doesn't know who Roberts is. They just know him as the guy who messed up the oath and didn't have it written down. That's the public perception of our Supreme Court now....

[iamthegame420va]

The majority of America have been brainwashed into thinking Bush is the devil and Obama is the new god-king. The truth is history will in time show that the Bush presidency was not that bad and Obama has time to prove himself. I'm not gonna sing his praise until he actually does something that proves to be good in the long run.

[christiv3]

Ah... the ol' Bush-will-be-vindicated-in-the­-future argument....

How's the search for those WMD's coming along then? Maybe it's time to take 'em blinders off there.

[iamthegame420va]

Go ahead and pull that WMD card. Tell me a president who didn't make a mistake while in office. And we all know that saving 25 million people from a dictator who was killing them was not a good reason to go to war, there should have been WMD's. If only there was a way to de-program you brainwashed souls.

[BorderInspector]

Roberts said "That I will execute the Office of President to the United States faithfully"

When it's supposed to be "That I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States"

What if I said the pledge of allegiance " I pledge allegiance to the United States of America to the flag." Would that be okay?

[iamthegame420va]

I'm not saying Roberts didn't goof but if Obama is our new "god-king" like you all think, then shouldn't he have just repeated the Chief Justice verbatim and been done with it. The Constitution has a set way to say it but it doesn't have to be said that way. The part "so help me God" doesn't appear in the Constitution but it's been added by every president. Do all of yall want to take that part out so it can be said exactly like outlined.

[BorderInspector]

If he had repeated exactly what Chief Justice Roberts said, then people would still argue that Barack Obama did not correctly take the oath. Another argument had Barack Obama repeated exactly what Roberts said would be "Barack Obama was a constitutional law professor, how come he didn't pick up on the mistake?"

[iamthegame420va]

Besides, if the Liberals have their way, no one will be saying the Pledge of Allegiance anymore.
