From Facebook, a claim that Obama flubbed the Oath of Office "again"

No specifics in the posting, of course, but it complains about Beyonce lip-synching and asserts that "Obama flubbed the Oath of Office again."

WTF are they talking about? I know that Roberts screwed it up, of course, but this is the first I've heard that Obama got it wrong. And both times?!?


What am I missing?


Thanks.

... on the word 'States' after he said said the word United.

But it doesn't matter because the 'official' oath was given on Sunday during a private ceremony and he said it perfectly.


The stutter is at the :33 second mark in the video below

He seemed to get choked up on the word "states" on the 21st. I assumed it was nervousness or emotion.

He's President. They need to deal with it.

Do they think stuttering one word means they get a do-over election? Beyonce lip-snyced! Do over! Do over!

Bush didn't finish a sentence in 8 years without screwing up.

Edited to add: Subject line is a rhetorical question. Their problem is that he isn't white.

1. More than likely some Republican is starting it.
2. There are a mix or races in the Republican Party, not just white.

Please let us not start to go in that direction of thinking.
