Flap was mentioning to the wife that he would not be surprised if Barack Obama stumbled on his oath of office after Joe Biden stumbled on his. And, there you go.
But, having taken the oath a number of times myself, I can tell you the nerves and adrenaline are racing hard through your body and a diligent staff usually have a cheat sheet posted somewhere to help the office holder. But, alas, this is hard to do here.
However, note there was a different spin on who flubbed the moment.
Fox:
Note: Fox’s headline now heads: Roberts, Obama Stumble On Oath.
But, really who cares?

Oh man did Obama screw it up. It is ok because he was probably a little nervous. The thing is the media of course will cover it up.
