Of course he was. Just setting Ohmama straight.

That's Ohhmama to you.

I dunno now, I watched it twice and I pretty much recall that Obama was 1) jumping the gun and cutting off Roberts and 2) he didn't recite it correctly. I heard somewhere this morning (sorry can't remember where) that even certain scholars were saying that he may just want to recite the oath again because it's the one thing in the constitution that needs to be recited- and done so correctly. If that's true or not I dunno... still kinda funny..

Ok, maybe they both did.

LOL, it's a draw- but Obama flubbed first

Yes, unfortunately

Personally, I thought the speech was excellent. I've seen almost all of his speeches, and one of the things that impressed me the most about this one was how "tight" the rhetoric was...

What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.

This is the price and the promise of citizenship.

Powerful stuff!
