President Obama | Retakes Oath of Office on Wednesday

MSNBC is reporting that President Obama again retook the oath of office, due to Tuesday's slight error but C.J Roberts.

Chief Justice John Roberts administered the presidential oath of office to Barack Obama for a second time Wednesday just to be on the safe side.

The unusual step came after Roberts flubbed the 35-word constitutionally prescribed oath a bit on Tuesday, causing Obama to repeat the wording differently than as prescribed in the Constitution.

The chief justice and the president handled the matter privately in the Map Room on Wednesday night.
