*** oops!!! ***

He jumps out of the gate before the first part of the oath is even finished being spoken to him.

False Start?

Then, during the oath...he needed it repeated to him?

Oh boy...

Does anyone think this is going to be missed by the Lenos/Lettermans/O'brians of the TV-Media World?

He's fodder for the late-nighters tonight...and so starts the next administration, down the road of ridicule...

May his be less bumpy than any of his previous peers...

Yep, I saw it. Couldn't believe it actually. Though I can understand a case of nerves it was unfortunate that it surfaced at that moment.

Ah, the start of a wonderful presidency. I hope he does better running the county.

Now, following the post-oath speech, there's a gal droning on and they have a shot of "O" sitting off to her left and he reaches up and wipes his nose on his left gloved hand????

Doesn't anyone use a handkerchief anymore?

Actions speak louder than words.....walking across Key Bridge this morning on my way to work, it was a great feeling to be part of this historic event.

yeah that was really unfortunate....but after all the wonderful sayings W. has given us. I am inclined to let this one slide. I sincerely hope he does a good job.

Whats "historic" about it? The fact a black man somehow got elected?

He is the 44th president, thats the extent of the "historic" value.

They're equal-opportunity roasters, so I don't think you need to worry. I "hope" not, anyway.
