I don't think a single person here has a vendetta against Obama, if you read the thread it's obvious that people are being skeptical about him, which seems like a pretty sensible position to me. Saying people here have a vendetta against Obama is the biggest exaggeration I've ever seen.
Please don't be the liberal equivalent of a flag waving idiotic redneck, it's just as bad. It's always good to be critical of politicians, Obama has not done anything yet, he's just a human like the rest of us and he will make mistakes. There's nothing anti-Obama about that statement.

so much money and effort for the oath ceremony and they mess it up a bit ironic
don't you think they got a bit carried away with this ceremony? Isn't Obama the one who called to reduce unnecessary government spending etc. isn't it a bit of a double standard to be in a terrible economic crisis and make the most expensive inauguration ceremony ever?

Yeah. All that build up, I'm sure he was nervous as hell.
That's really the only big goof up I can recall since I've started paying attention to his speeches.
Despite my earlier post on this, I actually agree with you. Until I see evidence showing that he isn't doing a particularly good job as president, I'm willing to write it off as a one-time caught-up-in-the-moment flub, as opposed to an indicator of his future performance in office.

Obama screwed up the beginning when he started repeating the oath before the judge was finished, but the judge screwed up when he said "that I will execute the office..." Hence Obama pausing mid-sentence and nodding to allow the judge to correct himself.
Still pretty embarassing, but not as bad for Obama as people seem to be making it.

/considering making this my new quote.
At the very least the monkeys at CNN/Fox/MSNBC could talk about Fiat's 35% buyout of Chrysler.
bush booed/jeered, and serenaded with "nah nah nah, hey hey, good bye"
wow. it's already clear that only a very small minority was happy/satisfied with bush, but people need to show some class. respect the office of the president, even if you don't respect the man.
