"They" wouldn't gain anything by shooting him (consdering its a conspiracy) but would rather be better off making him a puppet to serve their needs! If you ment terrorists, they wouldnt stand a chance, those paranoid Americans i tell you...

Given the program that was on BBC last night, it would suggest that on the issue of health care, there's going to be big problems up ahead with that one. And the lobbyists spreading more cash around to line America's congress pockets to gain some more leverage in the law on various issues :E

I read somewhere that it was the Chief of Justice who actually messed up by saying it incorrectly and that Obama paused so he could rephrase it correctly. No idea how true that is though.

It goes: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,"

The minister said it wrong and Obama seemed to wait for the right line to be said. Though he did say it wrong after :)

It was a double-mistake and with that pressure, if the minister messes up, you're bound to aswell.

I heard that they actually conducted a 2nd inauguration privately with just a few journalists as witnesses because he got his words wrong and they wanted to be double sure noone would later claim he's not technically president....

It was the one reading it to him who missed a word or two, thus they did a new one in private, just so everything was done right.

There is no "duty" to perform the oath btw, it's more tradition than anything. Acording to the consitution he was president at midday, with or without the oath.
