President Barack Obama took the oath of office over again one day after he did it (or flubbed it jointly with Chief Justice Roberts) the first time. According to Drudge Report and Fox News, Chief Justice John Roberts re-administered the oath in the White House Map Room and White House Counsel, Greg Craig, was in attendance with a press pool reporter. 

Publicity Examiner reported yesterday that the first swearing in by President Obama was flubbed but full of charm, grace and displayed his human side which was great PR. However, nothing beats the PR of getting it right and making sure if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Good job Mr. President.
