Re: Obama's Nervous

Actually, the trouble with the oath was at least partially Chief Justice Roberts's fault -- he prompted Obama incorrectly.

(At least Roberts got Obama's name right; Harlan Stone messed up Truman's name during the oath.)

Actually, Obama started reciting the oath early which threw Roberts off.

Obama muttered 'Allah Buyuk' under his breath.

I thought Obama's oath was endearing. The fact that he seemed at a loss for words made him seem nervous and human. (I would have cried.) It was amazing to see this and a few moments later see a flawless (I don't know how long) speech.
