Obama BUTCHERED the Oath of Office

Fortunately I learned my history in Canada after 9 fruitless yrs of gibberish in Massachussetts
The one good thing Obama has done is given the executive order to shut down the Bush/Cheney honneymoon torture chamber at Gitmo.
That will gain a "smidgen" of positive international attention to see that the US no longer advocates torture. Still a Loooong way to go to repair the Bush damage though

That was the actual problem. Kids who could spell in grade six were considered "high achievers"
In an "Actual Nice Try"..
The parties were parties in name only. After that event the Southern Democrats became Southern Republicans.
Democrat Strom Thurmond became Republican Strom Thurmond.
The south should really be coined "Dixiecrat" cause they were very much like Quebec in Canada, they just voted AGAINST whichever party did the most disservice to their racist institutions. (note: In that Quebec uses strategic support of other parties, not that its full of racist institutions)
They destroyed the Whig Party because it put a candidate who opposed expanding Slavery into the Territories.
It opposed the Republicans for along time because of well, Lincoln.
Then when the Democrats gave their go ahead to the Civil Rights movement they decided to go republican.
The south just voted against people for years and year, to blame either the Republicans, Whigs or Democrats for the south's policies are disingenuous at best.
The south were Dixiecrats, they just put on whatever hat best suited their needs.
It's kinda like Chia Pets or Sea Monkeys. Absolutely usless, but fascinating in it's own warped way
Eagle you are a tease getting people riled up
If I repeat those who have already correct the isse - I am sorry - I was just now able to re-sign on to this forum.
Roberts muddled up the Oath and it threw Obama off - Obama tried to repeat it the correct way - but Roberts overrode and corrected it himself.
They took another Oath yesterday to correct the error - but the press weren't invited so that threw another scream fest into the works...
I hope next week Obama's day at the office goes well.
I didn't vote for him but his speech was amazing. I hope we can measure up to his hopes and dreams. It's up to him.

On Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Flubber Hall of Fame when he administered the presidential oath of office apparently without notes. Instead of having Barack Obama “solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States,” Chief Justice Roberts had him “solemnly swear that I will execute the office of president to the United States faithfully.” When Mr. Obama paused after “execute,” the chief justice prompted him to continue with “faithfully the office of president of the United States.” (To ensure that the president was properly sworn in, the chief justice re-administered the oath Wednesday evening.)
How could a famous stickler for grammar have bungled that 35-word passage, among the best-known words in the Constitution? Conspiracy theorists and connoisseurs of Freudian slips have surmised that it was unconscious retaliation for Senator Obama’s vote against the chief justice’s confirmation in 2005. But a simpler explanation is that the wayward adverb in the passage is blowback from Chief Justice Roberts’s habit of grammatical niggling.
