Racists

Why do I keep hearing about beer and Obama? That's a little concerning. I understand it isn't a big deal to most of the population except those who have know alcoholics.

@naqib, you should learn to read and comprehend – he did not release any information because the ATTORNEY GENERAL told him not to in order to NOT JEOPARDIZE the ongoing investigation. Did you go to school in Alaska?

Learn to comprehend… you're a tool…
He said there was no contact what so ever! So what would it jeopardize? I didn't go to school in Alaska… Nice bigot statement by the way… you're a racist lady… and I pity you.

How can you go to church for 20 years and not know what the heck they are preaching?

Sue,

"Talk/talk/talk"? What do you want from him? He hasn't taken office yet! And even when a president is in office, the tools are a voice and a pen. Did you think there were knobs and levers on the president's desk?

Just another shrewd political photo op.
A presidents only constitutional job is to keep the country safe.
Its the congress that does all the spending etc. Congress writes the bills and its a presidents job to either sign them or not.
Bush was complainging about the Fannie Freddy situation for years but the dems in congress wouldn't do any thing about it.
you should check the historical FACTS before blaming Bush for everything.
Oh, gol, its snowing again. Must be Bushes fault.

You mean he isn't going to be sworn in on the QUR'AN?!?! I thought he was Muslim!

Hahaha!

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE!

Obama is a Christian, but WHAT IF HE WAS A MUSLIM???? It's a RELIGION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone has a right to their own RELIGION! AND FOR THOSE WHO KEEP BRINGING THIS UP MEANS THAT YOU DESCRIMINATE!!!!

YOU ALL MAKE ME SICK….I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING WHEN YOU MAKE COMMENTS LIKE THAT!

WHAT IF HE WAS JEWISH??? WOULD YOU STILL MAKE THE SAME COMPLAINTS….???? DON'T GET PRACTICING THE MUSLIM RELIGION CONFUSED WITH BEING ARABIC, ETC…. THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DON'T GIVE A FROG'S FAT *SS WHAT HE IS, AS LONG AS HE GIVES AN HONEST EFFORT IN TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR AMERICA!

GROW UP IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know who you are calling a bigot, but just because someone doesn't agree with the greatness of Obama doesn't make them a bigot. I feel great admiration for Martin Luther King and I especially admire the guts of Rosa Parks.

I have said it before and I will say it again, until we as United States citizens unite and support our president AND one another, we will never move forward. The negative comments about our president elect are horrible. when will you guys understand that it takes more than one person to make a world work, and with us not working together, we are working apart–shame on us–look what we have allowed ourselves to get into.

The cover might be the Lincoln Bible but the inside will be the Koran."

I don't even have the words to describe your inbred foolishness.

@Greg, PE Obama does go to church; unfortunately, he resigned from his former church during his campaign, due to disparaging remarks made by his former pastor, Reverend Wright. And just where have you been hiding?

@ignorance is bliss, no he want be using your book.

@naqib, you should learn to read and comprehend – he did not release any information because the ATTORNEY GENERAL told him not to in order to NOT JEOPARDIZE the ongoing investigation. Did you go to school in Alaska?

@larry from TN, if you hypocritical "evangelicals" can touch the Bible and your hands don't burn, then PE Obama's won't burn either.

@All Haters, give it up; this man (black, white, mixed race, biracial, african-american; whichever term you choose to use) is going to be the best president he can be. Support him; we all live in THIS Country; we fight wars for THIS Country. Stop the separatists ideations.

Over 600,000 Americans died during Linclon's presidency..
***************TO-RealityKing How many died during BUSH/Cheney's Presidency..due to an unjust WAR!!!!

He is walking as the Messiah. Except he's on the golf course buying beer for the press.

It should be against the law to be a republican, what a bunch of idiots. I give me great pride to know that Americans aren't stupid to put you idiots back into office. MOve On you LOST.

Like every president-elect he's been asked which past president he admires and would like to emulate. In his case it's Lincoln. And since he admires Lincoln he thinks it's fun to note, as anyone would, that there are parallels in his Illinois legislative career. There's nothing arrogant about that. I admire Mark Twain and if I had been born in the same town and spent time working on a riverboat I'd be tickled about the similarity and say so. Would people then say, "oooh, he thinks he's a beloved American icon! And he hasn't even published a short story, much less a novel! How deluded! How arrogant!"? Only if they were desperate for an excuse to knock me down.

Kind of blows apart the Republican allegation that Obama would use the Koran, but are the lemmings paying attention?

Hey, I am a Puerto Rican from Jersey born and raised with Real true African Americans.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy he chose Abe's Bible, and I do find it historical. But he is not "African American" . or atleast "African American" as we know it, or people who grew up with me knew it. This man has no ounce of slavery in his blood, does not know what it is to be discriminated.

His Grandmother was a Bank VP.. How hard did he have it in life. Yes his mom was a hippie, who traveled a lot, married a lot, and left him with his grandmother, I acknowledge that, this must have been hard on him, But compared to the African Americans I grew up with and still live with, He is not an African American, he African/White.

There is a lot of trailer trash red necks on here…..Who let them out of Jerry Springer's cage?

The Lord be with you PE Obama….We love you…

I cannot believe some of the comments aimed towards Obama. From the jabs thrown at him for offering a beer to journalists in the sweltering heat (others would have called him mean for not offering a beverage) to the bible being used for his inauguration. Some of the comments are downright rude. It never ceases to amaze me the ignorance of some people. No wonder America is so despised around the world with this type of arrogance shown by some posters here. GIve the guy a break will ya, he is about to embark on the most difficult job in the world and needs everyone's support, not criticism.

@ NortheastIndependent

"He does not have the pain of slavery or discrimination running through his veins."
——————-

Honestly, nobody does. I don't have the pain of the Irish potato famine or "No Irish Need Apply" running in mine. This is what our country really needs to learn. Until we learn to simply refer to ourselves as "American" with no added hyphenated DIVISIVE terminology to throw up barriers, then we haven't moved on and there is no unity in our hearts. Pretty simple.

We will soon be put back into US and once again be the United States. It is time we started working together as one nation. We need to eliminate: pork,special interest/party first at any cost and start to concentrate on education for all/ health care for all/ and a respected retirement for all. If not now then when?

[Insert racist Quran joke from a bitter GOPer here]

Charles Stoll December 23rd, 2008 7:14 am ET

Absolutley Fitting and appropriate that the first African American President use an artifact related correlated to the emancipation of African Americans in America. It's about time America got it right.
______________________________________________________
I couldn't agree with you more. I think it is wonderful and shows the thought he puts into things. I think he will make a wonderful president.
And for those who feel he has not suffered discrimination are WRONG. He has in many ways and at different times in his life. People made a very big deal of the fact he was African-American throughout the campaign. He didn't. Where do you think the slaves came from? Slaves were bought here from Africa.

If you're going to leave a hateful comment, please spell check. You lose a lot of credibility when your diatribe is rife with misspelled words and improper grammar.

Would be cooler if he were sworn in using a copy of Action Comics #1

@ bj, Texas

Someone needs to say it: You're a disgusting bigot.

Brian, NJ-I can believe it.

@ RealityKing

In part, the Americans that died in the Civil War were fighting for the freedoms that made it possible for us to choose Obama. I suppse it's no wonder you belittle their sacrifice. Do you think the wrong side won?

See? Just like I told you: all symnbolism and talk/talk/talk from this empty suit. Didn't you see how upset and stressed he got just trying to make decisions on who his cabinet (his buddies) would be? The USA is in for a truly bad time, folks. It has all been pretense and symbolism and promises he can never keep without bankrupting this country.

Will He put one hand on the Bible and one hand on the Koran? People, he is Muslim, and his roots will show up one day just at the wrong time.

RealityKing,

Thats because it was the Civil War and it actually started before he even took office. how is that his fault?

NorthEastIndependent: PE Obama DOESN'T have discrimination running through his veins…..Give your head a shake!!

"How can a President who would deny human rights to a minority (ie: gay marriage) take an oath using the Lincoln bible?"

Women couldn't vote when Lincoln was president.

To all the ignorant hate mongers out there. Barack Obama is a Christian which is more than I can say for any of you.

"And ain't it great how Obama's team is resembling Lincoln's Republican ideals more and more with every appointment"

That was back when Republicans were good and Democrats were pro-slavery though.

"Please remember Obama, is Not African American, He is of African Decent mixes with Wite.

African Americans are decendants of those who suffered the attrocity known as Slavery.

He does not have the pain of slavery or discrimination running through his veins"

His mother was American. His father was African.

African+American = African American. From the dictionary, an African American is "a black American of African descent".

A Native American is a Native American regardless of whether or not their particular tribe was forced onto reservations or wiped out with smallpox blankets.

The Bible should be retired and a copy of the Constitution used for the swearing in. After all it is the Constitution that the President is suppose to uphold, keep religion out of politics, all it does is cloud judgement.

Greg, how many people calling themselves Christians in America actually go to church every week? Very, very few in comparison to the amount of self-righteous people criticizing Obama's own religious practices. I bet he's been to church more recently than most of those forwarding spam about how Muslim he is.

I wonder what Bibles past presidents have used.

To those who say slavery is our original sin:
You're leaving something out.
Native Americans. We pretty much killed them all, and they still get little recognition.

Reading the many negative comments shows all just how low the
level of maturity is for the adults writing in. What is the foundation of your hate, your negative comments, and your lies. Your not fooling anyone. We and our ancestors have lived with your foundation of racism all of our lives. This country is moving in a new direction.You have choices, used them. Get over it, get a life, or just leave the country.

Isn't it nice to see Obama following through on the Lincoln theme he started back in 2007 in Springfield! t would be even more impressive if he would have Rick Warren read the Gettysburg Address!

"The Lincoln Inaugural Bible will be on display at the Library of Congress February 12th to May 9th, 2009, as part of an exhibition titled "With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition." The exhibit will then travel to five other American cities. The Library is planning several other events and programming in commemoration of the bicentennial of the birth of the nation's 16th president, who was born on February 12th, 1809."

Yep, that's right, bow down to the master!!! Now that's what I'm talking about baby!

Over 600,000 Americans died during Linclon's presidency..

Hell yeah!!! We are definitely gonna be a dynasty!!

And no one else can't do it but us, LOL!!!

In light of Abe's untimely departure…., BAD MOVE! One that will definitely go down in history as a bad omen if history should repeat itself.

————————————————————

Please reread the paragraph. It is a historical reference to Lincoln, NOT Obama. It explains why Lincoln didn't have his family bible with him at the time he was sworn in 1861, and as a result why one was purchased for him to use in the ceremony. In the midst of moving, packing, and relocating, the Lincoln's personal belongings (including their family bible) were still in route from Springfield to Washington. For obvious historical purposes, the LOC now has both bibles, and Obama will use the very bible that Lincoln used when he took the oath.

Like you said, "pay attention"! LOL

PROUND OF YOU MR PRESIDENT -ELECT

This guy (Obama) is awesome. He thinks through every action and the significant of those actions are only appreciated by the descerning minds. He has come to unite the United States of America. The whole world loves him

To…dede-ole
Yes, I agree, Obama does appear to be "accepting" his fate and destiny…for all the complainers, no one can prevent destiny from happening…I find it extremely "fitting" Obama would swear in on Lincolns Bible..and think Lincoln would approve TOO..
"TIME MARCHES ON "
AND it is Obamas time..May God be with him, as I suspect God already iS.
Bring it on Obama..I am anxiously awaiting you..and know you will do great things TOO

Mr. Lincoln was a man brimming with character and substance. The BO is just a continuing ad campaign… amply demonstrated by the latest effort at imagery. Wheres the meat?

> The cover might be the Lincoln Bible but the inside will be the Koran.

I feel sorry for you. You miss the whole point of the constitution of the United States of America.

This is wonderful news! By using Lincoln's Bible, President Elect Obama is showing yet again that he is a UNITER, not a divider. Those of you on the far left who expected him to be an angry, partisan, Republican-hating bigot better get used to this.

He was elected President of the United States, not President of the Blue States.

Pretty presumptuous aren't we Obama. Comparing yourself to Lincoln!

I can't believe he's the first one to use it since Lincoln.

@NorthEastIndependant,

FYI the families of African slaves left in Africa have also suffered for slaveries. All Africans have suffered from slavery… It is just like in a divorce family, every member of that family suffers …, Btw Michelle Obama is a direct descendent of slaves. She will become the first lady….

Republican's should be ashamed of this news. They let the Modern ignorant racist Biggots kidnapped the party even though the most prominent and respected republican of the history of the USA is Abraham Lincoln a guy that have the courage to free the slaves.

An appropriate gesture by the new POTUS. Now, lets just see if when abolish that palgue called IGNORANCE!!!!!

Get rid of the Bible… Separation of Church and State Baby.
The Bible is the best selling cult written material ever sold!!
Remember! Religion Enslaves The Hearts and Minds Of Mankind.

What type of horrible person could have anything negative to say about this? How sad for them. How very pitiful…

You know Greg when you win big you get to do what you want. You would not know that being the looser that you are. By the way, he did go to church. But that did not stop you from calling him a Muslim in one of your earlyer post. At this point Lincoln is a peer. You get to do all kind of neat stuff when you are a peer.

Obama admires Lincoln so no surprise he would use Lincoln's bible. Everytime this man has an original idea, he is called arrogant. There is nothing arrogant about not always following tradition. Obama has had the audacity to do things different and he has paid off for him. He will make a great leader because he is willing to think outside the box and these are definitely outside of the box times. One thing people will be able to say about Obama is he was unlike any other President, oh besides the fact that he was the first black president. He is sooo inspirational, I love myself some Obama!

A powerful statement, but one based on bad history. With this we further our mythic biography of Lincoln. Let us also not forget Lincoln the man who suspended habeus corpus for the duration of the war and the man who oversaw a military policy that left the South in ruins (often needlessly so, can anyone say William Tecumseh Sherman?). Let us also not forget the Union had slave states in it and that Lincoln's proclaimation ONLY freed the Southern slaves, and for suspect reasons (moral backing for the Union cause and a slave rebellion in the South would speed the Union war effort, and lead to the death of countless slaves). Let us also not forget taght Lincoln's views toward blacks was not one of equality (read the Lincoln-Douglas debates). He was very much a part of a paternalistic view toward blacks, they were lesser but needed to be protected. Also world opinion was already moving toward the abolition of slavery and every other country/empire in the Western World succeded in ending slavery without a war. Forget what you read in your 1st grade textbook and look into the real history of Abe Lincoln, an imperfect and flawed man who, often despite himself, added impetus to the already powerful call to abolish slavery.

Ironic that Lincoln was Republican.

Blagojevich said he should use the Nixon bible

Thats pretty cool!!!

@ BJ in Texas………… WHY CONTINUE TO LIE?? And I bet you consider yourself a Christian…. what does the Ten Commandments say about "not bearing FALSE WITNESS?"

There will always be HATERS among us, the thing that gets me so upset are the HATERS who consider themselves CHRISTIANS! IF you are Christian being a HATER ………IS A GRAVE SIN.

I AM PROUD OF PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA'S CHOICE TO USE THE LINCOLN BIBLE.

MAY GOD BLESS, GUIDE & PROTECT BARACK OBAMA!

That Bible is just about the Same Bible that you see in Hotels / Motels and such……No big deal…..That Bible has the same message as most Christian Bibles, The guy died on the cross, for us. He lived for 33 years, and He would like for people to treat others as they would like to be treated, period.

I think this is wonderful!!!

Happy Holidays everyone.

NorthEastIndependant

I personally did not want Obama to win, But I think this is tremendous, and really historical. It has is of great significance. The one who abolished slavery lending his Bible to the First African/White President.

Cool

********************************************************

If only we had more people like you. People who even though their candidate did not win, still has enough respect for the one who did. And I completely agree with your statement about the Bible, very cool.

Another historic moment in time. Obama will break many more barriers for all people of the United States of America. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Hmmm… I hate to be rude but are you perhaps caucasian? I'm guessing yes to make such a silly comment. Let me see…. he's part African, he's part American. Holy crud! I think that makes him African American! Don't parse with this nonesense about how only slave descendants are African American. If you have one ounce of discernable black in you. No matter where that "black" came from then in America your lumped in to this large group because that's what white America does. FYI you can spare me the white thing too about his mother. Be honest do you consider him white? Do you? No you don't.

WHERE IS THIS BIBLE?
In the Library of Congress, or is it pack away with the first family?

who ever wrote this article, please get your facts together, you are confusing the reader

OBAMA HATERS THAT KEEP SAYING OBAMA IS A "MUSLIM", YOU ARE A MUSLIM, YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS ARE MUSLIMS. SO…..WITH THAT SAID, WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT? GET A LIFE!

Hey North East Independent, he doesn't have slavery running through his veins, but his wife and children do….not to mention 50,000,000 million or so African Americans…I think it's another AWSOME move to help unite this country…..

Nel E Bell you need to ask President Bush where the money is since he is still in charge. Obama does not take office until January.

Hopefully under Obama's presidency we can all come together as a people regardless of race or religion. We have been divided too long.

This is a lie. Lincoln DID NOT free any slaves. You people need to do your history!

Lincoln would be proud to see our first black president, Barack, being sworn in on his bible.

Please remember Obama, is Not African American, He is of African Decent mixes with Wite.

African Americans are decendants of those who suffered the attrocity known as Slavery.

He does not have the pain of slavery or discrimination running through his veins.

And ain't it great how Obama's team is resembling Lincoln's Republican ideals more and more with every appointment…

I personally did not want Obama to win, But I think this is tremendous, and really historical. It has is of great significance. The one who abolished slavery lending his Bible to the First African/White President.

Cool

How arrogant! I have heard to many in the media, and Obama himself, comparing him to Licoln. He has done nothing yet but run an effective campaign and raise money. Lets see some real nose to the grindstone work and less hype!

WOOOW THATS GOOD NEWS. AM GETTING INTERSTING EVERYDAY HOW ABT HANDLING EVERYTHING

The cover might be the Lincoln Bible but the inside will be the Koran.

Oh brother!

I like it. I wonder why no former Presidents chose the Bible of the President who freed the slaves and united this country once and for all.

How unbelievable is that! I am so pleased just to witness such a historic event! All these years past and the deep wound that is known as Americas Original sin is finally starting to heal.

UNITED we stand, seperate we fall….. lets all be purple!

Maybe while under oath he can explain why it takes three weeks to release papers saying you and your people have nothing to say?

Great way to start… the latest poll says only 43% of America believe you… Wow… lost 20% of those who voted for you and you're not in office yet… LMAO

I love it

ALL THIS SYBOLIC PUBLIC RELATIONS, IS GETTING PRETTY LAME. I HAVE BUT ONE QUESTION FOR OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS IS THIS. WHERE'S THE MONEY, WHERE'S THE MONEY.ENOUGH WITH THE WHAT BRILLANCE AND BALANCE IN THE CABINET CHOICES. WHAT ANGERS ME IS I'M A DEMOCRAT THAT WORKS HARD AND PAYS MY TAXES FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT NOT SYMBOLIC NONSENCE…

The symbolism of the First African American President being sworn in with the bible used by the President who freed the slaves [and ironically the first Republican president], is too important for anyone to miss, AND…hopefully, it will deter people from making the expected nasty comments, like, gee, surprised he's not using his own personal Quran. But, knowing how some people are, I'm sure there will be those nasty ignorant posts.

I guess he really isn't a Muslim.

Merry Christmas, and if you're a non-believer, then enjoy the day off!

The arrogance of this man. He has the audacity to use the Lincoln bible when he has done nothing. I suppose he will begin carving his image out in Mt. Rushmore by the inauguration.

This shoots down the idea that people believe he was going to be sworn in on a Koran. Does it really matter what Obama was sworn in on before and in January? As long as he understands that he is going to be handed one of the most powerful positions in the world and that he needs to follow the rules, I don't care what book he is sworn in on.

President – Elect Barack Obama's decision to be sworn using the same Bible as Abraham Lincoln used is a great symbolic gesture of the respect he pays to Abraham Lincoln. I pray thaty Obama will unite the United States of America as Lincoln did. Had Lincoln failed, the present United States of America would be defferent.

Long Live President Barack Obama.

Let's guess how many repugs will write he will be sworn in, his hand on the Koran.

I thought he was a MUSLIM ?LOL

Another good move!!!!

Wow, that is amazing. It is great that the Library of Congress has agreed to let it be used for the inauguration!!

Honest Abe will be rolling in his grave. "I, Barack Hussein Obama…"

Powerful stuff! I cannot wait to see Obama's inauguration! The world is so happy and America has redeemed itself in the eyes of the world.

Good luck President-elect Obama, we are all rooting for you!

January 20th can not come soon enough!

This is remarkable….for most, myself included..the Bible is the most sacared of Books…if it could talk , this Bible would have many stories to tell regarding Lincoln ….I would love to read the side notes in it…..Lincoln was a divine part of history , a part that man did not recognize in his time…he not only represents maturation for society but healing….

I wonder just how many Obama haters are now going to say that Abraham Lincoln was a Muslim??

I would have expected nothing less.

God Bless you Mr.President-Elect and may God's speed be with you always.

Is the Lincoln Bible a Koran? I hear from my conservative friends that Obama is going to swear in on a Koran because he's a secret Muslim because his middle name is Hussein, like an arab or something.

Never Mind responding to the above.

"The Bible was originally purchased by William Thomas Carroll, Clerk of the Supreme Court, for use during Lincoln's swearing-in ceremony on March 4, 1861. ""The Lincoln family Bible, which is also in the Library of Congress's collection, was unavailable for the ceremony because it was packed away with the First Family's belongings, still en route from Springfield, IL, to their new home at the White House." ""

Second sentence of the above makes no sense. Why is the Lincoln family Bible packed away with the First Families belongings? I thought it was in the Library of Congress?????

Pay ATTENTION!

President Barack Hussein Obama the 44th POTUS, from the emancipation proclamation freeing the slaves to this historic event. Using Abe Lincoln's Bible shows how far we have come as a country.

GOD HELP US!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no doubt that his will be a great Precidency. To my collegues on the left, we trusted Obama to be President with the help of many other groups of Americans, let him govern in the best way possible. I fulle respect PE judgenent and I know he will be wonderful. So let's join in and make this country great again.

We can judge PE years from now and see where we stand. I know PE is acutely aware of history and he is making his a historical precidency. If he is another Lincoln, we will overcome all the problems we have.

Oh my….guess that will hurt some of the people who keep yelling he is a Muslim, because he will not be using a Koran to be sworn in on. Now what will they do.

That is neat. I am glad to see him do it this way.

Please make sure this goes in an e-mail that you circulate to all your friends. The Repubs will circulate the old Koran e-mail again…we know that.

That's an interesting tradition, but if it were me I'd like to be sworn in on a stainless steel plate with the engraving of the Bill of Rights. It feels more symbolic to me for that kind of event.

OBAMA IS A MAN OF HISTORY, HE FOLLOWS HISTORY AND HISTORY WILL FOLLOW HIM AS REGARDS TO HIS ACTIONS TO AFRICANS

But the fear mongers were betting that Obama would take the oath of office on a Qu'ran! I'm starting to think those guys are a bunch of liars! Is he still hanging around with terrorists? Surely something they said is true!

What? No Koran? I tell you, people are so ridiculous. The man is a Christian. He's just not a Fundamentalist or an Evangelical. You know, Christianity was a religion even before America was established as a nation. Heaven will not be filled with Jerry Faldwells.

Well that is gratifying to hear that PE Obama is using the Lincoln Bible
on inauguration day…..maybe, just maybe people will get over this ridiculous nonsense that he is a Muslim once and for all!!!

I'm very surprised that the Politically Correct people aren't upset about this as well. Thank you, Mr. Obama, for at least making an effort to bring us back to our Judeo-Christian roots and values. I hope it doesn't upset too many people in your constituencies.

It will probably burn his hand when he touches it.

I imagine Republicans will be surprised to learn "Lincoln Bible" isn't a slang term for a Quran.

That's incredible – monumental, symbolic and historic. Now watch the haters come out to play….

Some Muslim. Well it wont work. There is no way he is going to fool the good people of WV, KY, TN who have more toes then teeth. We are too advance thinkers for that.

So appropriate in so many ways.

Absolutely a wonderful decision!

How can a President who would deny human rights to a minority (ie: gay marriage) take an oath using the Lincoln bible?

Not using the Koran, huh?

I LOVE IT

You are absolutely correct Newsflash. Candidates are going to have to earn the votes of the American people.

Good Luck My President, the time is now, may God be with you.
Always remember it is the working American that needs a President now more than ever.

Guess that'll put an end to the rumors that he'd be sworn in on the Quran.

I think this is great! Regardless of what some people think of the President-Elect, they will have to agree that he will restore the statue of the OFFICE of POTUS to the honor the founding fathers meant for it to be. From now own, the American people will be very careful of whom they elect POTUS. No matter how much money you can rake in, or how much negative advertising you do, the future Presidents will have to be a candidate of substance. The American People have made this criteria a must, not ideaology.

God bless our President-elect! America — UNITE!!

I find it quite hypocritical that Mr. Obama would even use a bible during the inauguration since he didn't think it necessary to even go to church until after the campaign.

It's also typical of his ego that he even presumes to use the bible of one of our greatest presidents and that no other president has used since.

Obama is walking in the right shoes .lincoln was a great leader worth of celebration.Obama seems to accept the destiny that is being bestoed on him. He seems to look beyoud now and believe in american endurance.

If we are not careful.. when this whole thing is said and done we all might be more united….. how scary!!!!!!!

The ghost of Lincoln is BACK!!!

A great symbol!

Absolutley Fitting and appropriate that the first African American President use an artifact related correlated to the emancipation of African Americans in America. It's about time America got it right.
