Java missing root certificates - Minecraft

Minecraft recently came out with a new launcher and java is giving me the following errors when I try to download the update via the new launcher:

Please fix the error and restart.

I already tried reinstalling Java (Version 7, update 25) and I tried disabling Java 7 and tried using Java 6. No bueno.

Terminal recognizes that Java is installed, and I have the preference panel under system settings. Help?
