So, after a fever-pitch countdown to inauguration worthy of the Beatles reuniting to resurrect Jesus so He could star in Batman 3, people stating in all seriousness that the election of one man was the culmination of the very idea of democracy, and (most importantly) 8+ years of jokes about President Bush not being good at public speaking to the point where it had been run into the ground like a running gag that somehow circulated between The Simpsons, Family Guy, and SNL at will... he flubs the OATH OF OFFICE!

I don't care who you are, you've gotta laugh at that. It's like enjoying 300 or finding Eva Green attractive. It's just a universal aspect of the human condition. Because, come on, we've all been there.

I was actually there, which means my audio quality was actually poorer than most who saw it at home, and I thought he flubbed it too. But my friend who watched it on tv said that actually the Chief Justice said the line wrong, Obama started to repeat the incorrect line, stopped, and then the Chief Justice said it right and Obama repeated that.

I haven't seen it again, so I can't say for sure which is right.

Actually, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court originated the flubs. ;)
