Swearing to Protect the Document That he is Dismantling

Another empty hollow promise:

Swearing age-old oath, Obama steps into 2nd term

quote:

President Barack Obama was sworn in for four more years Sunday in a simple ceremony at the White House, embarking on a second-term quest to restore a still-shaky economy and combat terrorists overseas while swearing an age-old oath to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution.

Is anyone else besides Gun Shy confused by the above statement? He is swearing to protect the Constitution against people such as...well...himself. I have heard it said repeatedly that whether Americans agree with the president or not, they need to have respect for the office. Gun Shy is sure that it is a very nice office (joke), and maybe the current occupant should respect it by not putting his feet up on the resolute desk.
