President Barack Obama

The Presidential Oath of Office:

I, (Barack Hussein Obama,) do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

What Chief Justice John Roberts said:

"I do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully...."

Barack, after pausing, gives a slight nod of his head and they continue out of order from what it should have been said in the first place. Barack did, however, start talking sooner than he was to have, before the "do solemnly swear."

To be really fair, if that had been GW, we'd have mocked him to no end!

Regardless, a hopeful day, a new administration and one can only hope a new outlook. His speech certainly gives that impression!
