More On the Bobbled Oath

In case you missed it, ABC’s Robin Roberts asked Obama last night about the missed exchange between him and the chief justice (from the transcript released by the White House):

Q: During the taking the oath of office, Chief Justice Roberts inadvertently switched some words — you were trying to help him out there a little bit it seemed with your look.

THE PRESIDENT: We’re up there, we’ve got a lot of stuff on our mind, and he actually, I think, helped me out on a couple of stanzas there. So over all, I think it went relatively smoothly, and I’m very grateful to him.
