Default Must not have had the oath of Office on the telepromter n/m

****head: Check your sources...

Chief Justice John Roberts is a man who has made very few public
missteps in his life -- but he appears to have made one when swearing
in Barack Obama. Roberts slightly flubbed the oath, which then tripped
up Obama.

The oath is contained in the Constitution: "I do solemnly swear (or
affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the
United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of the United States."

But when Roberts swore in Obama, he flipped some of the words, saying:
"I will execute the office of president to the United States
faithfully."
