Some conservative Web sites are already saying President Obama flubbed the oath of office. And it certainly wasnt smooth. But it appears it wasnt his fault, but that of Chief Justice John Roberts.
This is what Roberts was supposed to ask Mr, Obama to repeat:
That I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States.
Instead, Justice Roberts said, That I will execute the office to President to the United States, faithfully.
Justice Roberts misplaced the faithfully, and added a weird to in there as well.

  • Well he was appointed by bush.

  • Excellent catch by the President Constitutionally if he had said the oath incorrectly I'm not sure he would have truly been President. Of course Judge Roberts would have never tried such a thing on purpose that is utterly ridiculous to say that.

  • After reading most of these posts it's no wonder we have this President in office. As to the video it really doesn't matter if Roberts flubbed it or not considering President Obama had no intentions of keeping that oath.

  • it took thousands of courageous geniuses years to create this land of freedom, but it will only take one man a FEW DAYS TO DESTROY IT!!!!

  • @cheeseball247 he needed a teleprompter.

  • "execute the office of PRESIDENT to the UNITED STATES faithfully, preserve protect and defend the constitution of the UNITED STATES". He is president of the corporation called the UNITED STATES and the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES is the bankruptcy re-organization. This is why it doesn't matter that he wasn't born on the land mass known by the name America. That only applies to the president of the united states of America. There has never been a president of the united states of America.

  • Yes, the Chief did screw it up....but instead of obama looking like an idot at him...he should have said the correct line. That would have shown that Obama knew what the constitution said. They both screwed it up

  • cheeseball247 I guess you are a cheeseball. The Chief Justice got the second line totally wrong.

  • mhsoccerblondie Wrong! The Chief Justice flubbed the word order in the second sentence. What else should we expect from "W" appointment.

  • lol when we watched this at school after the oath was over and the cannons were shooting someone said ha ha they're shooting him
