I did a workup on his Presidential inaugural and oath of office. Your mention that you were referencing his state Senatoral oath makes the point mute.
Thought you might find it interesting none the less. Thank you for mentioning which oath you were referencing.
First of all, I had thought you were right. Per chance, I decided to look around.
I Googled, saw a link to Snopes, and the information there seemed a little too Obama friendly, so I decided to look around more.
Here are several photos that pretty much nail down the issue for me. Looks like we were both wrong.
Article and photo of Bible LINK more history on the Lincoln (not actually his) Bible. LINK third article down on the left.
This spine shot of the Bible is comparable to the spine shown on the Obama swearing Bible.
Swearing in photo LINK large version LINK 3000x2107 893k version
I believe it is possible we are confusing a Congressman who elected to be sworn in using a Koran, with Obama.
If anyone else was unclear on the Bible used for the Presidential election, this pretty much lays that issue rest, even though the issue isn't contended here.
Take care...
I'm going to see if I can document his Koran oath with photos. I'd love to shop that around. ;^)
