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

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!

Chief Justice Screws Up Oath -- Obama Blanks

So the oath didn't go particularly well, and here's why. Chief Justice John Roberts screwed up the second line and it seems that threw Obama off track.

Obama oath: Click to watch
The oath, found in Article II Section I of the Constitution, reads, I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States....

The Chief asked Obama to repeat these words, "...that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully...." It's "of" the United States and the word "faithfully" should have come before the word "execute."

After that, Obama blanked. Could this be a conservative conspiracy?

Stay tuned!
