US top judge leads Obama to stumble oath

Obama ended up saying the first four words 8211; 8220;I,Barack Hussein Obama8221; 8211; twice.

Then Obama paused abruptly after Roberts reversed a few words 8220;that I will execute the office of the president to the United States faithfully.8221;

Actually the word 8220;faithfully8221; had floated upstream in the constitutional text,which actually says,8221;That I will faithfully execute the office of the president of the United States.8221;

Obama waited for Roberts to correct the words,realising that something was out of order.

The top judge gave it another try,getting closer but still not quite right: 8220;faithfully the office of president of the United States.8221; This time,he omitted the word 8220;execute.8221;

Roberts repeated the phrase correctly and Obama took it forward from there.
