BillyVance 35 #1 November 6, 2008 Now that Obama has won, congress needs to unite and work together, blah blah blah.... Now my question is, since Obama refuses to recite the national anthem nor honor the flag and anthem with his hand over his heart, what book is he going to lay his left hand on for the inauguration? Will it be the Bible as it always has been, or will a copy of the Koran be secretly inserted under cover?

quade 4 #2 November 6, 2008 You know, there are people that are actually insane enough to ask this question seriously. I wonder what's going to happen to their delusional little universe when they see him SING the national anthem (recite? really?), place his hand over his heart and on the bible.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swearing on a Bible would be pointless at best, hypocritical more correctly. It's tradition. Obama is a Christian that has been documented in somewhat painful detail. There would be nothing hypocritical at all about him swearing in on the Bible. That said, there is no legal reason to do so. It's not required and in fact, fortunately, our Constitution specifically prohibits it from being required, but it doesn't rule it out either.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
