Just Watched The Swearing In Again. Didn't Realize They Both Messed Up! (I Think)

I kept hearing about Roberts messing up and from reading DU thought that Obama then paused, waited for it to be said correctly, and then finally repeated it back.

Upon watching it again (just to watch it again, not for that reason), that does seem to be the case as far as why he paused (since Roberts messed it up), but then when Roberts stated it correctly Obama then repeated it the way Roberts said it the FIRST time, not the second (Obama still said faithfully last).

So I'm curious: Do you think Obama had a quick lapse as well (stumbled and accidentally repeated the flawed verse) or do you think out of respect rather than act smug as if he had to correct him, he chose to say it the flawed way in order to not seem petty? I'm not sure to be honest. I thought he ended up saying it the right way but he didn't.
