FOXNEWS ^ | January 10, 2013 | Associated Press

There’ll be a Koran sandwiched between them.

And will he drop out the “. . . and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”?

When barry touches the Bibles will it leave blisters on his skin.

He needs two Bibles to convince us that he’s telling the truth. It won’t work. We know him well by now.

Who gives a flying flip? The Bible means no more to him than the Constitution. It is all for show.

Anyone know whatever happened to that koran that Saddam Hussein had penned in his own blood?

Barry is afraid that if he touches a Bible, it will burst into flames. He needs a backup, just in case...

Why not just use his Koran with a fake Bible cover?

I vaguely remember an episode of an old western (maybe Big Valley?) with a court scene. The Chinese witness offered to swear on a stack of Bibles. The attorney, knowing the witness was a Buddhist, offered to let him swear on, IIRC, a dead chicken or some such thing. I wonder if this show by BO is along the same lines? IE, doesn’t matter how many Bibles he uses if he does not believe in the power of the one true God.

Martin Luther King, Jr. would be appalled at what Obama’s policies and rhetoric has done to race relations in this country and the black community in general (unemployment rates, crime rates, etc...). Obama is obviously unaware of the teachings of that great man to think that he is somehow worthy to connect himself symbolically to Dr. King in any way.

I can’t believe that Dr. King’s family supports this.

You can bet that he will force Chief Turncoat Roberts to swear him in a second time with “THE HOLY BIBLE” noticeably absent and probably “THE SATANIC KORAN” under his right hand!
