Honest mistake, or...? - robkelk - 01-21-2009
Anybody else notice that the Chief Justice (who Obama voted against being appointed to the Supreme Court) gave the President the wrong line, causing him to
stumble during the oath of office?
Both of them were working from memory, so it could be an honest mistake... but if I was the type to believe in conspiracy theories, I'd wonder whether that
wasn't an attempt at "payback". If it was, it failed - the media (at least up here) are treating the stumble as proof that Obama's just as
human as everyone else.

It was probably a flub on boths parts but I think it worked to Obama's
advantage.
