Today there was a fuss about the nervous sswearing in yesterday of President Obama. The media says it was Roberts forgeting what to say and the then President-elect finsihing since he was a Law Professor.
President Obama was not a Professor, he was a lecturer. There's a difference. A Professor has a permanent office hour and does small discussion group classes as well as large lecture classes. A Lecturer only does the lectures and maybe a spot on a guest panel as the President has done on numerous occasions.
Chief Justice Roberts was not finished with the phrase before Obama began to repeat it. That is why it became jumbled and a little confusing. After this, the word "faithfully" was moved to then end of the phrase, but that does not invalidate the oath.
Later, Vice-President Biden made fun of the Chief Justice as if he were the nervous one being sworn into the highest office of the land and jumped ahead of the gun. Not appreciable, even to the President who did not smile at this snide remark or laugh as Biden did.
He did not vote for him because he was elected because of party lines. The media is already creating a myth around the man. This is the first offense. If he does nothing to stop this, he is still the man we opposed all 2008 to be our President. The only difference: he is our President now and have to still respect him until he hits three strikes, three offenses.
The attack on Roberts is one last jab at President Bush and is not the change I was "hoping" for.
Thank you J. Kolby for pointing out a factual error. I removed the mistaken information.

Not to be too picky, but Obama has been a Senator since January 2005 (seeing as he was elected in 2004).
Obama was part of the New Democratic Party in 2006. It was big news everywhere how the New Democrats swept Congress.
I'm well aware of the massive Democratic victory in 2006. I worked on a Senate campaign that cycle. The fact remains that Obama defeated Alan Keyes in an Illinois Senate campaign in 2004. He gave the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston as the Democratic candidate for that Senate seat. These are indisputable facts. He may be "inexperienced", but there's no need to lie about the length of his brief Senate tenure.
