Question: This may have already been discussed, have not read entire thread, still recovering from the drive, the weather, the all day on the feet thingie inaugurations always include, and the ball and the drive home.... But it seems the President has his hand over an open Bible in the pic , whereas the Bible held for Cheney appears closed. Do you know what verse, or Chapter perhaps, it is, that is so precious to our President that he would cover it with his hand when taking his Presidential Oath of Office?
I read on another thread that the Bible was open to the chapter from Isaiah that has the line about 'for they shall rise up on the wings of eagles'.
The same reading was read at the National Prayer Service the next day. If the President chose that passage for both services, it must be very meaningful to him.
Unfortunately, no, Republic. If it was mentioned anywhere, I missed it.
