OOPS!!

I thought this was a little funny because Richard had pointed out to me that Obama forgot a word in the swearing in ceremony:

This is from the BBC website:

Sworn again

Mr Obama - who was sworn in as America's new president on Tuesday - said he was beginning "a new era of openness" in government.

He was sworn in for a second time late on Wednesday, because one word had been out of order when the oath was first administered.

The White House said the ceremony had been repeated in an "abundance of caution".

On Wednesday, the US Senate confirmed the appointment of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state.

Senators earlier approved six Cabinet members, including Janet Napolitano as homeland security secretary and Steven Chu as energy secretary. Several other positions are still to be confirmed.

From D:
I was watching and thought it was funny too. Later I found out that it was actually Chief Justice Roberts who had screwed up the lines and it through Obama off. Just another right wing conspiracy!!!
