Look, Roberts screwed up. It really was no big deal, and he obviously didn't do it on purpose (who wants to look like a fool in front of millions of people in an effort to get "payback" -- that isn't really payback).

(As an aside, my only reaction to the flub was to realize how ridiculously sharp Obama is, since most people wouldn't have even noticed -- let alone prod the oath-giver into correcting his mistake.)

That all being said, Obama asked us all to grow up. Bush and Cheney spent eight years fixating on childish and meaningless political gotchas, and it needs to stop. We have real issues that we need to address, and brouhahas like this don't help one bit.
