It seemed to me like Obama was helping Roberts with the words to the oath. Also, the fact that he retook it the next day, to me, really speaks volumes. It shows me that he's going to be careful about doing things the right way, even the things that might seem trivial. Maybe it's the risk-averse lawyer in me, but I was actually thinking that an "abundance of caution" would be advisable when I saw the flub on Tuesday. re: 3, Barack Obama, the Science Guy. Seriously, you have no idea how much it EXCITES me to have a President who is so conscious of the role of science and technology in today's society. I actually almost shed a tear over his historic shout-out to atheists during his Inaugural address. Though not an atheist myself, I am glad to have a President who acknowledges that America has a diverse faith heritage, including people who do not believe in God. I thought it was pretty bold. re: 2, a couple of thoughts. It seemed to me like Obama was helping Roberts with the words to the oath.
