Chief Justice John Roberts readministered the oath to the president in front of reporters at the White House.
The White House counsel said in a statement read by a spokesman the oath was administered a second time out of an "abundance of caution. |

Barack Obama retakes oath after mistakes at inauguration |
|
The confusion arose after Mr Roberts', dubbed the "oaf of office" by one US newspaper, pronounced crucial words in the wrong order during the inauguration ceremony.
He should have said "faithfully execute the Office of the United States", but instead said "execute the Office of the President of the United States faithfully".
Mr Obama, smiling, clearly recognized the mistake, and gave Mr Roberts a chance to correct himself, but the judge put faithfully in the right place but left out the word execute". |

His name is Ema'niah ...which means
"Faithful Purpose". |
Such a perfect expression to describe this gifted performer. His Unique and Positive approach to music combined with ultra professionalism...puts Ema'niah in high demand.
Born in Los Angeles, CA, he began his music career at the age of 14 in a top rated steel drum band. Beating pan..as the Islanders of Trinidad call it, is the newest musical experience of our time. And to Ema'niah, the playing of these enchanting instruments came naturally. He was born to make music! His steel drum playing and vocal talents dazzled audiences until one day...he vanished from the music scene. for over ten years, he developed his life and skills, joining not a band..but rather the COSMIC FORCES OF NATURE...bringing him closer to the music he loves, creating a new style of his own.
The Enchanting Sounds of Shinar.
Now reappearing, Ema'niah brings his world to you. He is the only known performer that simultaneously sings and accompanies himself on steel drums using six mallets. An avant-garde in his field, he is in a class by himself. one man band - an instant show stopper!!! THERE IS NO OTHER PERFORMER LIKE Ema'niah Shinar ANYWHERE. |
