Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
CNN and The Guardian managed to report the whole thing you can look for yourself who reported "Roberts then led Obama through the oath without any missteps." and stopped there.
Duh?
You just quoted the verbiage and NO WHERE does it even remotely mention anything about a god thing.
Guess what, since they don't appear anywhere in the oath, THEY ARE NOT KEY.
Roberts: "I, Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear." President Obama: "I, Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear." Roberts: "That I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States." President Obama: "That I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States." Roberts: "And will to the best of my ability." President Obama: "And will to the best of my ability." Roberts: "Preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States." President Obama: "Preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States." Roberts: "So help me God." President Obama: "So help me God." Roberts: "Congratulations again!" President Obama: "Thank you, sir!"
They decided to add lib.... They add so help me god... Just pointing it out. I didn't figure I would get anything but dissent. There is also the strange occurrence of certain stations leaving out the transcript and instead say "Roberts then led Obama through the oath without any missteps." As if they had no clue that the world would be extremely curious with a oath that not only didn't the bible (but Obama said was binding) and wasn't not filmed for TV.Just making note since these same papers through the elections were so clearly biased.
I still have no idea what you're complaining about. You have run-on thoughts and double-negatives ("wasn't not filmed").
Are you complaining about the "so help me god" or the lack of it? Are you complaining or pointing out the lack of a bible? Are you complaining that they didn't film it? Well, it wasn't for you. If they filmed it, you'd start complaining about mispronunciations, or some such silliness. The fact is that Obama can't win with the lunatic wingnut fringe in this country. He didn't have to do it. In fact, it was a mistake to do it, because it empowered some insane lunatics.
Please clearly state, in one sentence, what your issue is.
Seriously how can you possibly say you don't understand what I was getting and then summarily start answering... Move along if you are just here as the spelling and grammar nazi....

I don't care about spelling and grammar. I am a logic nazi, though.
