Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: — "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."
What is so difficult about this simple oath that neither the Justice nor President Obama could get it out of their mouths correctly?
At least they got the "So help me God" right.
Maybe it was jitters, maybe it was the cold. Maybe they didn't rehearse enough. As smooth, eloquent and well-spoken as President Obama has been up to this point, it seems a little out of character for him to make this gaffe.
