Just curious...

Recommended Posts

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? :P

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.

Ignoring the Koran jibe.... but does the president HAVE to be religious and if not how would he be sworn in? Swearing on a Bible would be pointless at best, hypocritical more correctly.

Oh yeah, that's him... Got them mixed up. You almost can't not think of Malcolm X when you think of Farrakhan. :P

I reposted my own post but updated the response because the first time I posted it it errored and when I checked to see if it was there it wasn't. So I reposted and then walah....it showed up above your post. So I looked really foolish. But anyways....yes you're weird. ;):D

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.

Well, with the government saying who can and can't get married, they are not too separated from the church.

Hi Billy,

I think that there is a Congressman from somewhere in the midwest who is a Muslim. I understand he took the oath with his hand on the Koran.

So what?????

The critical part is when the government says who can't get married. Once they stop doing that, the rest will take care of itself.
