In the second photo, note that BO’s left arm is straight. His hand is not resting on anything: not a book, not a table, not anything.

There is no Bible...and he could have used the Lincoln Bible AGAIN if it was that important to him.

If you had to do a redo..and you just had to have the Lincoln Bible the first time..wouldn’t you want it for the redo if it was a sentimental thing.

When swearing in, the Bible is no longer required. But a Christian, as Obama professed to be, would have taken the oath with his left hand on the Bible. I am confident it was available. But a muslim would not place his left hand on the Bible under any circumstance.
