Obama: Lincoln Bible For Inauguration: "President-elect Barack Obama will take the oath of office using the same Bible upon which President Lincoln was sworn in at his first inauguration. Obama will be the first President sworn in using the Lincoln Bible since its initial use in 1861.
'President-elect Obama is deeply honored that the Library of Congress has made the Lincoln Bible available for use during his swearing-in,' said Presidential Inaugural Committee Executive Director Emmett Beliveau. 'The President-elect is committed to holding an Inauguration that celebrates America's unity, and the use of this historic Bible will provide a powerful connection to our common past and common heritage.'"
How many right wing nut jobs predicted that he would use the Koran? How many called into talk radio with predictions that he would use the Koran and was told by the host to "hold on, we don't know that yet". Not one. From Rush Limbaugh to Neil Boortz the accusation was put there and the hosts played on it.
