Afterwards he did manage to recite his speech from what appeared to be memory (at least only occasional glances at his papers). Good show I say!
As far as I know,don't they ( politicians ) read from several screens with running script?
Actually, as I mentioned before. Obama didn't fuck it up. The Chief Justice ruined it. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con...id=topnews
Quote:After flubbing his one role on Inauguration Day -- administering the oath of office to Obama -- Roberts traveled to the White House to re-administer the oath.
I just watched the oath being retaken on Anderson Cooper's 360 Podcast, The one Obama tried to recite at the inauguration matched the one recited in the re-do.
So it's not "scary" at all just Robert's being an idiot.
