I really thought Obama was just nervous durig the oath and screwed it up or didn't hear. I did the same with my marriage vows.

But here it was Justice Roberts screwing up the only duty he needed to fulfill today.

        This is exactly what happened in our lunch/break room as well. There were about 60 of us in there. -- nm - Diva Jan 20, 11:32 1
        
        I was in a room of librarians. Someone said, "He's screwing you Barack!" - Amy Jan 20, 11:37
    - Oh, he was nervous as well. He jumped the gun on the first line. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 11:23
- The oath goes "Faithfully execute the office" Roberts repeated it as "Execute the office faithfully" Or thereabouts. -- nm - TWuG Jan 20, 11:21 11
  - I thought this was what happened. It didn't sound right. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 11:27

    - Makes sense. My initial reaction was "How can Obama *not* know the words?" - ty97 Jan 20, 11:24 2
      - 97, button didn't feel long. it's totally okay. I swear. if you can find the time, see it. -- nm - president 44 loves mandy lane Jan 20, 11:29 1
        
        thanks, definitely planning on seeing it when I'm back stateside - ty97 Jan 20, 11:30
    - That seems to be it. Easy enough to *know* what you're supposed to say but totally stop when hearing something different. -- nm - TWuG Jan 20, 11:22 3

        it's 35 words. of COURSE he memorized it! -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 11:25
    - It sounded wrong, you could see em both on different pages of it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 11:22
    - I would say that appears to be correct. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 20, 11:22
