The Constitution does not require the use of the phrase, "so help me God" as a person is sworn in as President.
George Washington added the phrase, and every succeeding President has used it.
Obama, who likes change, might not use the phrase.

“Obama, who likes change, might not use the phrase.”
It’s probably best. He ought to think about not using a Bible, as well, as it may be difficult to get anyone to hold it. Those lightening bolts can leave a mark.

Is that a Gore quote? /grin

I wouldn't expect the AntiChrist to invoke GOD's help.
Will he be using his family koran?

I would like to be in on the “over-under” time for getting struck by lightning. I will put $10 on “within 20 minutes” of being sworn in.

hell use it so people will say hes not such a bad guy after all ... I agree it is very likely. Although a close friend insists he won't use it.

He said God Bless America the other day. I think it was at his first Press Conference. So I think he will use it.

I would imagine there will be an inauguration in secret which mirrors the public one. A midnight ritual in which The One makes a covenant with and dedicates the country to the god of Alinsky and Community Organization...
Lucifer This inauguration will be sealed not by a "so help me God," but by the sacrifice of a virgin.
To: Gumdrop
Exactly. The only divinity he believes in is his own.

"Obama will have briefed the swearer-inner long before they go up on stage..."Tip off will be whether he selects Wright or Farrakan to do the swearing in.

LOL.

With Obama it would be, “so help me myself,” and he would be speaking to his god. He is a narcissistic freak, and his worshipers deify him.

He's not at all like Abe Lincoln.

“So help me, me”. He thinks he IS g-d, the ‘bottom tissue’ that he is.
To: JennysCool
If Patrick Fitzgerald issues some indictments, Obama might be using that phrase before the inauguration.The best outcome of all.

If the Justice says it, he says it. Justice Roberts won’t let us down.
