However in this situation, I feel Chief Justice John Roberts did an injustice to our incoming President Barack Obama by not only reversing the word order while giving President Obama the Presidential Oath of Office, but also by hesitating between lines causing him confusion. I am happy that President Obama remained confident throughout the debacle, but his botched oath was witnessed around the world and was not well-received. From what I understand, Roberts gave the oath a second time to President Obama without a Bible; which has become additional fodder for the media. To be sure, there has been no love lost between these two prior to Inauguration Day since President Obama didn't support Roberts'appointment. However, President Obama rose to the occasion and emerged as a true gentleman. Our First Lady, Michelle Obama is another story. She didn't even flinch. Is she human or what?
