Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts had only 35 words to utter but the placement of one word tripped him up Tuesday.

Roberts misplaced the word faithfully while administering the oath of office to Barack Obama when he was sworn in as the 44th president. And after a split second of hesitation, Obama followed his lead.

I noticed that too. I also noticed that Obama almost jumped the gun on reciting the oath. I saw a clip where George HW Bush did the same thing. It's funny to see stuff like that at such a hallowed occasion. Shows that at the end of the day we're all human, eh?

Well, the day that anyone says those words without having their stomach in knots is the day that anyone can criticize.

I do not have any great love for John Roberts since he was appointed by The Idiot but this is not even worth a mention. Roberts is a judge, he is not a public speaker and as such he cannot be expected to be perfect in from of 2 million people. I would be nervous too.

Totally agree. My mouth literally went when I read it. I mean, honestly...I think we'd all be a little scared.
