Dereliction of Duty

{link » Oath of office of the President of the United States}

“I [Barack Hussein Obama] do solemnly swear (or affirm)
[pause #1]
that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,
[pause #2]
and will to the best of my Ability,
[pause #3]
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

No, it was not the President-elect who screwed up the Oath of Office. It was the Chief Justice who blew the prompting. Arguably his most important ceremonial duty, he is too full of himself to learn how to administer the Oath properly so as not to embarrass the President-elect and make an ass of himself. Here is how it was mis-administered (listen to the video, below):

Roberts (prompt #1): I Barack Hussein Obama [brief pause]
Obama: I Bar ... [halt #1; Obama realizes Roberts' brief pause was not the end of prompt #1]
Roberts (prompt #1, continued): do solemnly swear [pause; end of prompt #1]
Obama: I Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear [pause; end of response #1]
Roberts (prompt #2): that I will execute the Office of President to the United States faithfully [pause; note the "to" instead of an "of", and the mispositioned "faithfully"]
Obama: that I will execute ... [halt #2; Obama realizes that Roberts is a stupid fuck; he waits (with a pained smile) for Roberts to correct his prompt.]

Truly an impeachable dereliction of duty on the part of the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Too arrogant (or too stupid) to have a cheat sheet in his hand in case of a senior moment.
