Obama raises his hand to history, but the oath slip-up is nothing new

BARACK OBAMA’S first test as president came as he was being sworn in. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, got the presidential oath wrong.

“I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear,” Obama repeated after Roberts. But then the chief justice got the next part wrong: “that I will execute the office of President to the United State faithfully.”

He should have said “that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States.”
