GWB must have had his fingers crossed when he pledged to "preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States".
Hmm, actually, that is the exact phrase. I just noticed that it doesn't say anything about OBEYING the constitution. Interesting. Maybe crossed fingers aren't strictly necessary.

I have thought that he has meant that he's defending the piece of paper (it really is well protected at the National Archives) rather than following what it says on that piece of paper.
