Sumpah Pak Obama gubrak juga.
Ada sang pemberi contekan sumpah Justice Roberts (JR)
yang kata2nya diikuti Pak Barack Obama (BO) yang sedang disumpah jadi presiden.
Berikut urutannya.
[1] JR: I, Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear
[2] BO: I, Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear
[3] JR: that I will execute the office of president of the United States faithfully
[4] BO: that I will execute---
[5] JR: the off--- faithfully the office of president of the United States
[6] BO: execute the office of president of the United States faithfully
[7] JR: and will to the best of my ability,
[8] BO: and will to the best of my ability,
[9] JR: preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
[10] BO: preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
[11] JR: So help me God.
[12] BO: So help me God.
Teks yang benar:
"I, Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear 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."
Kayanya:
Di [3] JR salah menempatkan faithfully. Lalu di [4], BO bingung, ko rasanya bukan begitu teksnya.
JR di [5] mengira BO lupa, jadi dia mengulang "the off---" tapi segera sadar bahwa dia sendiri yang salah,
jadi dia betulkan, sebut "faithfully" duluan. Tapi entah kenapa BO tetep sebut yang salah di [6].
