FUCK YOU, ROBERTS!!!!!

[EraOfResponsibility]

you asshole.

[MaineDem]

1. He screwed up!

I expected better.

[kenny blankenship]

13. I kind of doubt it was a screw up. He had a smirking "I've got a secret" smile on his face

as he ascended the platform.

[autorank]

19. He was worried that he'd be arrested and cuffed as he left the stage. n/t k*r

[Arugula Latte]

2. Total dickhead.

:grr:

[liberalmuse]

3. Didn't he even rehearse?

Utterly shameful.

[ecstatic]

14. Doubt it. What an arrogant jerk!

I just read what the freeps are saying and they are saying that it was Pres. Obama who messed up.

[Lilyeye]

17. Yup. The repukes on a mixed board I visit say Obama messed up. Assholes...

[Jackpine Radical]

4. I heard it, but I didn't quite get what happened.

[uponit7771]

5. Roberts fucked up the cadence, thought the shit was funny...he's a Bushie afterall

[Julius Civitatus]

29. Roberts changed the script too, and removed a sentence from it

But Obama was quick enough to add it on his own:

"Roberts, who used no notes, stumbled at one point, appearing to forget the opening words. Obama, a former constitutional law professor, made sure to insert the crucial phrase “that I will faithfully execute the office of president to the United States.”

Obama is one smart cookie. :)

[KewlKat]

6. I'm outraged

I blew a gasket.

[EraOfResponsibility]

15. I.AM.LIVID.

ARGHHHH!

[EraOfResponsibility]

7. I'm so angry right now I don't know what to do

but I'll get over it. :)

[chieftain]

8. My bet is that he did it on purpose. n/t

[elleng]

9. DON'T USE THOSE WORDS.

They mean NOTHING.

[lonestarnot]

10. UNITARY EXECUTIVE FUCKWIT!

[Tatiana]

11. I wish they could have just let John Paul Stevens do it. Asswipe.

I'm so furious. I wonder if the bastard did it on purpose.

[treestar]

12. He oughta know those words cold!

so like a Repuke to take a historic moment lightly!!!

[GardeningGal]

16. ABC coverage just confirmed that Roberts messed up the words.

What an ass Roberts is.

[hamsterjill]

24. Media calls it right!

Yes, Yes, YES - the media is all reporting (accurately) that it was ROBERTS who screwed up.

Obama looked amused at first and then gave Roberts a very stern look.

Roberts sure looked like a fool up there!

[KitchenWitch]

18. What a fucking disappointment that was.

[rateyes]

20. He said it wrong to begin with....

He said, "I will execute the office of POTUS faithfully," instead of "faithully execute the office of POTUS." Obama knew he screwed up. Obama could probably have cited the whole thing from memory.

[leftynyc]

26. President Obama should have

waved him off dismissively and just said "I got it" and recited the oath. There is nothing official about it being done by anybody - least of all a supreme court justice. Michelle could have sworn him in.

[populistdriven]

21. FUCK YOU, ROBERTS!!!!! you asshole.

[populistdriven]

22. ......grrrrrr.....

[WinkyDink]

23. Heckuva job, Johnny!

[tbyg52]

30. LOL!

:rofl:

[leftynyc]

25. The Obama's and all of us

are deserving an apology. A public apology - the man is an ass. 35 words and he still couldn't get it right - what a schmuck.

[mnhtnbb]

27. This is what happens when people of dubious competence are appointed to jobs beyond their abilities.

[citizen snips]

28. he really screwed the pooch

kind of expected from a Bush appointee
