I have to say, I noticed the original fumble.

Anyway, what's the odds that some litigious t0$$er trys to overturn the executive orders he made between the two swearing ins (like the closing of the cases at Guantanamo) by claiming that he wasn't actually the President and didn't have the authority?

Are we sure it was really a mistake and not the first sign of the lizard people's brain washing waves beaming in from outer space? After all, Colin Powell promised something about now didn't he. BTW what tin foil's best for a new hat?

I noticed it too, as the news kept showing that clip and saying "Oooh he stumbled" but it was clearly the Chief Justice that messed it up, not Obama.

and Obama did that kind of, "you got that wrong" nod when he did it.... just think how many times he'll have rehearsed that declaration!!!

apparently Fox News openly mused about whether he was legally president after the fluff. So the additional ceremony prevents any further nitpicking speculation.
