The Blame Game

Haven't even finished the oath of office and 'The Blame Game' begins. You saw this, right?

Here's how Tuesday's oath went:

Chief Justice: ... that I will execute the office of president to the United States faithfully ...

Prez elect: ... that I will execute ...

Chief Justice: ... the off -- faithfully the pres -- the office of president of the United States ...

Prez elect (at the same time): ... the office of president of the United States faithfully ...


It was reported that the oath was done again because the Chief Justice messed up. The way I read it, the Prez elect didn't finish the first line. It's right there. He didn't finish the line. Then the Chief Justice had to recover because he was expecting the Prez elect to do it right. He had to back peddle because he was ready to move on to the next line.

But the Chief Justice got the blame for screwing it up. Here we go folks, we're in for a fun ride!
