Interesting that Obama didn't use a Bible when he took the REAL oath. One has to wonder if the "flubbing" of the oath during the original ceremony, where he used Lincoln's Bible, wasn't accidental. That way he could have the prop of the Bible, to satisfy some people, but not take a "real" oath thereby not breaking whatever true religious or cultural beliefs he has internally. Then take a "real" oath without the Bible later. Interesting.

For the last time it was Justice Roberts who flubbed the oath, not Obama.
And for the next to the last time, he becomes the President whether or not he even takes the oath.
First off, Obama is not the first president to have had mistakes during the recitation of the oath. In fact, there were four other presidents before him where the oath was flubbed.
Second, placing one's hand on a Bible is not a requirement for taking the oath. There were several presidents before Obama that did not use the Bible at all when taking their oaths.

Honestly, I really thought I saw on the news that he used a bible the second time, not just the Lincoln Bible, because it had been put back at some museum or something.

The only picture released of Obama taking the second oath shows him with his right hand up and his left hand at his side. Apparently he didn't use any book at all for the second oath.
Here's a URL for the picture; http://media.washingtontimes.com/media/img/photos/2009/01/22/20090121-221922-pic-623461027.jpg
Yes, it is. Very.
Did you also know that President Obama swears to uphold and defend the Constitution? This piece of paper mandates the separation of church and state. It doesn't even mention the bible as part of the "real oath-taking." In fact, in its entirety, it doesn't mention any god, any religion, or any religious book.
This country has been a nation of the devil since 1787.
I heard he did it with his hand on Avengers #4, the reintroduction of Captain America,,,,Or was it Silver Surfer #1?
President Millard Fillmore wasn't even sworn into office at all. He was affirmed.
And, oh look, the country didn't cease to exist as a result.
IF Obama were not a Christian, he could have taken whatever oath on the Bible, as that book would be nothing but a prop to him. The thing you take the oath on ought to mean something TO YOU, or it's completely meaningless.
What's interesting is that this in any way interests you. Who the f**k cares?
It's kind of a strange idea/dogma they got upstairs in those tiny minds anyway. Atheists could put their hands on the Bible and lie their asses off if we wanted, I've done it on dares, we're not afraid of it.
We're not like you idiots, we're not terrified of "Holy Books". If Obama was an unbeliever or an Islamic he could go through the farce regardless.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
