  Yes. It was beautiful that the prideful actions of one of Bush's appointees caused him to screw up the ONE THING he is really ever called to do correctly. This is why every single Supreme Court head justice in the past has READ the oath, rather than done it from memory.

      Wow, twice (at least) in one week that we agreed on something and lately my hand doesn't involuntarily punch the neg button the instant I see your avatar. ;-P But seriously, I thought the same thing. For better or worse, the thought of what it would be like to hear "I, Barack Hussein Obama..." has been on most minds since Obama began campaigning a couple years ago. It was a first for both of them and I can only imagine what they must have felt knowing millions (if not billions) of eyes from all over the world were on them.
