As Jeopardy reminded me

I marked an X next to John Roberts for fumbling Obama’s Oath of office

That led Obama to mix his words up too and the historic swearing-in of the first African-American president briefly became an awkward muddle.

To silence doubts that Obama’s presidency might not be legal because he failed to say the oath properly, the two men tried again the next day in the White House and went through the correct, constitutionally mandated avowal, word for word.

Now, Roberts gets his second try - twice: once in a closed ceremony in the White House’s Blue Room on Sunday, and then the public one on Capitol Hill the next day.
