I think that's the negativity that NA was talking about.

Also, I don't see how you can really lay the oath mistake at his feet. He obviously knew it was wrong (heck, Obama could probably just about recite the entire Constitution from memory let alone just the oath) and then went with the flow.

And Obama has always said "uh" a lot when speaking extemporaneously. It isn't the number of "uhs" that's a problem so much as the quality of what is in between them. But I can't watch that video so maybe he does come off as Caroline Kennedy in it.

I like Obama's 'no jacket' thing. It gives the appearance that he's getting down to business.
I heard his earlier rule 'silly hats only' was rejected by Rahm Emanuel.

I have a crush on Rahm-E. There, I said it.

I thought that Secret Service Agent who was walking in front of Obama's limo on Inauguration Day on the passenger side was SO HOT! (Black hair, large pointed elvish ears. He looked like he could've been Welsh). He got loads of camera time. The more intense he looked, the hotter he got!

If you lust for river trolls.

To me he looks like someone who would live in a hole in the ground and every once in a while his head would slowly rise up out of that hole and he'd look around before withdrawing back in.

But my taste in men may be different than others'.

Oh, absolutely Obama screwed up first. It was a comedy of errors that fed off each other in an embarrasing worldwide spectacle. But both men can speak the English language.

Bush's malapropisms were not mistakes. It was the way he spoke. i.e., like a retard, not a president.

Roberts was overheard at the inaugural luncheon telling Obama, "It was my fault."

Nonetheless, it seems clear that they were both nervous. Obama rushed things which made Roberts misspeak. Who cares. Honestly.

Personally, I thought it brought a touch of realism to an occasion that is beyond heavily scripted. Obama's grin when they both paused was an excellent example of why people find him so charming. (It reminded me of when Princess Diana flubbed Prince Charles' name at their wedding-- an excellent example of why she was so loved...people were able to humanize her in a way they were never able to do with the other royals.)
