Barack -- If At First You Don't Succeed ...

Posted Jan 21st 2009 7:47PM by TMZ Staff

Barack Obama is the president of the United States. Finally.

After flubbing his oath during yesterday's inauguration -- thanks, Chief Justice John Roberts -- Obama retook the oath this afternoon at the White House. White House counsel Greg Craig said Obama took the oath from Roberts again out of an "abundance of caution."

In Barack's defense, people retake the SATs all the time!

4. Actually he DID NOT flub his oath......he realized that chief Justice Jhhn Roberts had the words in the wrong order and paused to give him the chance to correct hinself...either ways it was after noon and Obama was president.....Roberts had 35 words to say and he screwed up! Period and moving on!!!!!

11. Hey lol,

maybe bush should ask for a do over of the 8 year it took to destroyed this country and maybe next time they should pick a Chief Justice who can recite 35 words without showing his dyslexia!!!!!!

12. His first act as president and this is the best he can do? Also, what does this say about the rest of society when he actually repeats the oath again just so no one can say he's legally the president because he didn't do the oath properly?

13. Cool, want to make sure that when he tells ya'll to go get a job and help this country, it's your country too, that you don't have an excuse there either.

14. Holy crap - how many times did Bush flub???? He stuttered and used words out of context; hell, he even made up words! #4 Anon, you are right, he didn't flub, he was just gracious enough to try and let Roberts correct himself... Anyway, who cares?! I voted Obama and I am HAPPPPPPPPPY!
