No Bible for Obama as he repeats oath January 27, 2009

Obama stood in front of the world with one hand on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible and the other raised high as he repeated the sacred oath of the image President of the United States of America. Well not all went as planed as Justice Roberts flubbed up the words. 15 seconds later everyone was celebrating however many wondered if the flub would somehow call into question if Obama is actually the president or not. See as it turns out the person taking the oath must repeat the oath exactly as it is written otherwise it doesn’t count. (It’s the law).

 

So in order to cover himself Obama retook the oath in a more private setting and this time he made sure no Bible was present. For someone who wants to make sure the oath was taken correctly he was fine with skipping the whole Bible part because it’s not required by law.
