Гимн США, 4-й куплет:

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Законодательство США, 36 U.S.C. § 302:

“In God we trust” is the national motto.

Барак Обама:

But I believe that the history of both America and Indonesia should give us hope. It is a story written into our national mottos. In the United States, our motto is "E pluribus unum" - out of many one.

Я, разумеется, не говорю, что Президент США обязан знать гимн и законы своей страны. В общем, конечно, совершенно необязательно. Но как к выдающемуся интеллектуалу современности, блестящему оратору и великому лидеру, к Обаме, наверно, можно применить немного более высокие критерии? Или нет?
