Az amerikaiak nagyon értenek ahhoz, hogy adjanak el valamit, ennek ekletáns példája a tegnapi ceremónia, Barack Obama beiktatása is: a bálok még javában zajlottak, amikor a mailboxomban az alábbi hírlevél landolt (klikkre nagyobb lesz):
A DVD-n minden bizonnyal rajta lesz a beiktatás legkínosabb pillanata is, az, amikor az amerikai Legfelsőbb Bíróság elnöke John G. Roberts Jr. belebakizott a beiktatási beszédbe - Obama azonban hótthalálos nyugalommal kijavította, és azt a szöveget mondta el, amit valóban kellett volna.

Whose fault was the Oath of Office garble?
What it was:
ROBERTS: I, Barack Hussein Obama...
OBAMA: I, Barack...
ROBERTS: ... do solemnly swear...
OBAMA: I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear...
ROBERTS: ... that I will execute the office of president to the United States faithfully...
OBAMA: ... that I will execute...
ROBERTS: ... faithfully the office of president of the United States...
OBAMA: ... the office of president of the United States faithfully...
ROBERTS: ... and will to the best of my ability...
OBAMA: ... and will to the best of my ability...
ROBERTS: ... preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
OBAMA: ... preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
ROBERTS: So help you God?
OBAMA: So help me God.
ROBERTS: Congratulations, Mr. President.
As it's meant to be:
The Constitution prescribes the words: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Obama jumped in before the "do solemnly swear" phrase, which seemed to throw Chief Justice John Roberts, who was using no notes, off his stride. He remembered the next phrase as: "that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully."
"That I will execute," Obama repeated, then paused, r prompting Roberts with a slight nod. Roberts then took a second shot at it: "The off ... faithfully the pres ... the office of President of the United States."

Ezért is tette le aztán újra.

Ennek ellenére azonban Obama is rosszul mondta el.
(+ az ő bakija volt az, hogy hamarabb akarta elkezdeni.)
