No, he did not. That was Keith Ellison, a US Representative from the state of Minnesota - elected in 2006. He made news by choosing the Koran over The Bible for his swearing in. But Barack Obama is a Christian, and when he was sworn in as president, he used the famous Lincoln Bible during the ceremony.

∙ 11y agoHe did, and any rumor to the contrary should be filed away as an internet myth. Mr. Obama took the oath in 2008 on the Abraham Lincoln Bible, and in 2012, he used that Bible plus one that Martin Luther King had used. He has used a Holy Bible every time he took the oath, including when he was serving in the Illinois legislature in the 1990s.

∙ 11y agoBarack Obama was sworn into office as a Senator using a Bible. The same was true when he became president-- he used the famous Lincoln Bible for the ceremony. There are numerous internet myths that claim he used a Koran, but that is false. He has always used the Holy Bible for swearing-in ceremonies. Some e-mails seem to confuse him with Keith Ellison, a U.S. representative from Minnesota who is a Muslim and who does use the Koran when being sworn in. But Mr. Obama is a Christian and has never used a Koran in any swearing-in ceremony.

In 2012: He used both Abraham Lincoln's bible and Martin Luther King Jr.'s Bible. Note that there is a myth that he used a Koran-- but this is false. He is a Christian and he used a Bible that had the Old and New Testament.
