Summary

Description
English: The full audio recording of Barack Obama and Chief Justice John G. Roberts as Obama retakes takes the Oath of office of the President of the United States as the forty-fourth President of the United States at 19:35 EST, January 21, 2009 (00:35 UTC, January 22, 2009). Roberts recited the oath, "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." A day earlier, during the inauguration, Roberts had incorrectly stated the oath which caused Obama to also stumble on his lines.
