Oh, Noes! Is He Still President?
Chief Justice Roberts fed the new guy his line wrong, so Obama swore in under a "revised" oath: does this mean that crypto-Muslim, non-citizen Barak Obama isn't really President anymore? ZOMG!
I fully expect there to be some of this kind of stuff around the internets today.
In the real world, however, much jubilation is evidenced. Congratulations, Mr. President; please fix the world.

I thought it was funny that Roberts screwed it up, but what really bothered me was at the end, when he said, "So help you g-d?". That little coda is not a part of the oath. although it is something that most presidents being sworn in add, it seems to me that it should be at the new president's option. What if Obama didn't want to say, "So help me g-d"? What was he supposed to do then? Say, "Yeah, whatever?".
Hilariously, there are apparently constitutional scholars who are recommending that Obama repeat the Green Lantern oath, just to be sure
