Not sure if this was posted or not...but when Obama mentioned in his speech that "44 men have taken this oath of office....etc" I thought immediately that "wait, there's only been 43 (because of Cleveland's non-consecutive terms)!"

Just surprised something like that made it through the editing rounds of the speech.

Thought I was a huge dork for realizing this until I think it was Tom Brokaw made the same comment afterwards. :biggrin:
