President Obama just retook the oath from Chief Justice Roberts, just to clear up any lingering concerns.

White House Counsel Greg Craig just put out this statement ...

"We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday. But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time."
