How Could This Happen? -- The Presidential Oath Taking Screwup

In the big story of the day, besides First Brother In Law Craig Robinson's soon to be famous yawn during President Obama's inaugural activities, the President and Chief Justice Roberts each stepped on the other's toes by screwing up a 35 word oath required to be taken by the incoming President.

President Obama interrupted Justice Roberts opening line, then Justice Roberts moved the word "faithfully" around to the end of the oath. How embarrassing yet human for our country that the two most important members of the government could not get through this simple procedure without screwing it up. Shocking errors by both men caused me to cringe on my couch. Not a great way to start the new administration.
